Summer's officially over and my favorite time at the beach is here.

Autumn is beautiful in Perdido.
Warm, lazy, golden days.
Cool nights to sleep with the windows open.
Let the murmur of the waves lull you to sleep.

Happy Friday,
Susan

Perdido Kid's Park





Alas, we don't have little kids anymore and so I hadn't had a chance to visit the new Perdido Kids Park yet, even though I've driven past the front gate often.


A huge fort themed jungle gym.

A guest we had at Good Haven House this summer took her son there and raved about it so I wanted to share it with you.


The climbing wall with a Blue Angels theme.

Built in 7 days by families from the neighborhood and over 200 Marines a day. All volunteered their time with professional direction from representatives of Leathers and Associates, who designed the park using input from area children.


The Marines and family volunteers.

It is full of play equipment such as two forts, a turtle slide, a lighthouse, a pirate ship, and Blue Angels planes that all have a great Pensacola connection. There's a climbing wall, nature trail, butterfly garden and covered pavilions with picnic tables also.

'Blue Angel plane' play equipment.

If you have little ones this will be a fun outing for you.



It's about 6.5 miles from the house,
located on Gulf Beach Highway (CR292A) .8 miles west of Blue Angel Parkway (Hwy 173),
the entrance is on the north side of the street.

Lots more pictures of Perdido Kids Park

Oh, to be a kid again!

Meet Derby and Foster.
They came for a vacation at Good Haven House in the Spring.

Here's what their owners had to say "We had a great time at Good Haven House but our dogs had an even better time! They are older dogs and acted years younger - wanting to play non-stop. The yard and access to water was ideal. "

"Thanks so much Susan for allowing our pets to come with us - made all the difference in the world."
