The first day of Brandcation in Pensacola Beach we did the
Blogger Olympics. It was a lot of fun.
We did all kinds of goofy things like a digital scavenger hunt with our condo
mates, we had to build a sandcastle, and there was even a hula hoop contest. There were even medals and trophies and prizes
to win. First we did the digital
scavenger hunt where we had to find all kinds of random things. Most of them we
were pertaining to Portofino where we were staying, like pictures of the pools,
a picture of the spa, and other beach themed things. It was crazy to run all
over the place, but it was a good way to break out of my shell. I ran for the
first time in a long time for my condo mates trying to beat the other teams. I
was in a lot of the pictures that we had to take to “collect” the items on our
list. We had a bonus item to find a man
with a hairy chest and take his picture. I went up to this man and said can I
take a picture with you? He said sure. He was a really nice guy. That isn’t
something I would normally do but I did.
After the digital scavenger hunt we headed down to the
beach, and had to build the White House out of sand. I suggested we had an
Obama with a head I made out of random seaweed and plants. It was really
cute. We made sure we had all of the
White House’s features and came really close to the real thing. We only ended up with one bucket so we sculpted
the White House with our own hands. We didn’t
even use the bucket. The sand was our
clay. We also had to ride on a raft out to a point and then ride back to shore
that was difficult but fun. If it would
have been swimming or running it would have been easier but the Olympics are
not easy! All of the Blogger Olympics
was sponsored by Jambu Shoes. Jambu sells adventurous footwear that is not
only comfortable, but also stylish and adorable. You can get footwear for the
entire family with Jambu shoes. Be sure
to check them out. They are awesome and
Thank you Jambu Shoes for sponsoring one of my favorite events. They provided us with the equipment for the Olympic
games and the medals and the adorable sheep trophies that the winners won. We
came in last place but I proudly wear my bronze medal.
The last day of Brandcation we went on a Dolphin
Cruise. I wasn’t too sure when I found
out we were going. Cruise is such a
loose term, it could have been a fast boat or more of a leisurely ride. Either
way I knew it was going to be fun. I
love boats and I would love to own one someday.
It was a nice relaxing leisure cruise.
We didn’t have to worry about getting wet even though that would have
been fun. We were able to see a bunch of
dolphins. We even saw infant dolphins which was really neat. The captain and
crew were really nice too. Some of my fellow bloggers were able to drive the
boat! Thankfully we made it back safely.
We also learned more about Pensacola Beach’s history. They showed us supposedly haunted light
house. It was pretty creepy. I get scared pretty easily so I kept looking to
see if Eleanor was holding on to the rudder.
They also had beverages available and a snack. It was so amazing to be
so close to dolphins without glass between you like at the zoo.
The dolphin cruise was sponsored by the awesome PR firm
Circle PR. Thank you so much for the
chance to see the dolphins. I look forward to working with them in the future
as they represent some really great companies.

The events were
sponsored as part of Brandcation Gulf Coast. Thank you again to Jambu Shoes and Circle PR. All
