Besides our wedding, this trip would be an amazing opportunity for some beach time! Pensacola Beach is our favorite because it is only one hour away, and the beaches are gorgeous. We have great memories here playing frisbee, boogie boarding, and fishing! Food: Our favorite place to stop before going to the beach is DiDa, a food truck serving amazing banh mis! While we wait for our food, we like to play a round of ping pong or cornhole at the brewery right next door :-) Restaurant Iron is a cute date night spot - Noah took Justine here for her birthday last year! McGuire's Irish Pub - A fun place to escape the heat and cool down with an ice cold beer
