Brandcation - Bloggers Gone Coastal

Pensacola, FL May 4-6, 2012

This time our bloggers took over the beach in gorgeous Pensacola, Florida! There was great fun had at the first ever Blogger Beach Olympics, a day filled with adventure tubing and zip lining, we saw Saturn up close while stargazing on the beach, and took a boat ride to see dolphins swimming in the bay, complete with baby dolphins.
