Gypsea said:Born in South Carolina but raised in Maryland. Met my future husband at Annapolis. After he proposed and told me that we would me moving to Pensacola for flight school, I asked him if Pensacola had hurricanes and he said ("No, they only have those in the Miami area"). I have learned that guys will say anything to get their girl and I guess I was having a blonde moment because I believed him! The day we moved into our apartment (30 years ago) Hurricane Eloise was coming right towards us - I have never seen movers move so quickly - they just wanted to get out of there. Since then we have lived in Corpus Christi, Tex.; Jacksonville; Brunswick, Maine; the Azore Islands; Monterey, Ca.; Lake Ridge, Va.; Bath, Maine; Severna Park, Md.; Fort Lauderdale; and now we divide our time between Pittsburgh, Pa. and Watercolor.
In all of our travels we have never seen beaches as beautiful as those of 30-A. I believe that SoWal has a great sense of community. What brings everyone together is their love of the area and the people are the THE best!
Go Navy, Go Steelers!
What year was it that you moved to Pensacola? We have good friends that lived there as well and he went to flight school. They stayed at our WC place last fall and went over to Pensacola and had so much fun reliving their memories, and seeing some of their old haunts still standing!
