Panama City Beach is only 1.5 hours away from where we live. So, it's just long enough to feel like you've gotten away from it all but close enough to feel... well, close by.
If you ever go to Panama City Beach, check out The Holiday Inn Express Resort. It's a great hotel overlooking the ocean that offers great entertainment such as hula hoop contests, karaoke, dancing contests, poolside movies, toddler water park, arcade room, spa room, etc..... Pretty fun place to stay!
Jordan is a "Believe It Or Not - aholic" ! After we visited the Ripley's Museum in St. Augustine, Jordan was hooked. So, when we saw this one in PCB, we had to stop. The museums are pretty interesting. This one had a limo covered in 18-K gold coins, shrunken heads, horses smoking cigarettes.... you know... the average weird stuff.
One of my favorite tv shows is "Deadly Catch". This reminded me of that show. This is a 26 ft King Crab. (.... anyone have any butter?)
"Human Belt" -- LOL !
Take a close look here...... is he coming or going?
At the halfway point of the museum tour, we got to go through a laser maze somewhat like the one in the "Mission Impossible" movie.... well, not just like that one -- but fun just the same !
And (of course) Jordan won a spot on the leader board. She came in 5th over all LOL. Maybe she should pursue a career in spying????..... or not.
Gulf World had cute animal shows. We loved the dolphins.
But, come on, who doesn't love dolphins, right?!?!?! Way tooooo cute !
So is this one - ha !
We really got a kick out of touching the manta rays. But there was one small ray that seemed to "like" Jordan's hand the best. She would put her hand in the water and it would swim right up to her...... everytime she put her hand in. So, we all put our hands in at the same time and again this particular manta ray swam to Jordan. HA !
I loved the sharks!
Here is Red. He is 58 years old and very grumpy. He cawed three times while Jordan took this picture of us...... Daddy jumped each time. I think Red made him a little nervous LOL!
Remember "Crush" in the movie Finding Nemo? Can't you just hear him saying "Oh, man! No hurling on the shell, dude, ok? Just waxed it."
(shhhh.... don't tell Nana I put this on here...tee hee ;-)

The Gulf of Mexico is gorgeous! I see why it's named "The Emerald Coast".
And at the same time, I see why it's called "The Redneck Riviera" -- yee haw, *snort* !!
