Almost Spring

March 1, 2026 at 11:44 pm

Back in Chicago winter is still going strong, but down here in the Florida Panhandle March 1st means it’s almost time for Spring Break.

For now things are still pretty quiet…

But pretty soon hoards of teenagers and college kids will descend on 30A.

Law enforcement in Seaside is already on alert.

It was so nice to enjoy warm sunny weather this afternoon after last week’s cold snap.

I even got a chance to check up on my favorite statue!

Christmas in Seaside

December 16, 2025 at 9:00 am

Last year Seaside went all-out with their holiday decorations. I really liked the way they lit up the iconic Coleman Pavilion. They also had some holiday-themed murals which were very festive.

I love how quiet and peaceful Seaside is in the winter, it’s a totally different vibe from the chaotic summer crowds.

Christmas Eve in Pensacola

December 5, 2025 at 9:00 am

To celebrate our first Christmas Eve in the Florida Panhandle in 2021, we took a day trip to Pensacola. I loved this huge inflatable Grinch.

The Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel was built in 1886, but traces its roots to the 16th century exploration of Northwest Florida. Love that blue ceiling!

Beautiful sunset glow as seen from the Pensacola Bay Bridge as we headed home.

It’s crazy that the sun now sets before 5 o’clock, but I love that colder weather is finally reaching the Florida Panhandle (at least for a few days) and I’m glad hurricane season is almost over. This year was nice and quiet.
