This is 3-mile bridge - A favorite and familiar site for me. This bridge is right down the street from me, and it's another reason why I love Pensacola. Many a morning or Saturday afternoon, I head over it to get to my favorite Starbucks, located in Gulf Breeze, a small community just on the other side. This bridge is also the first of two bridges you pass over to get to Pensacola Beach.
There's something so freeing and refreshing to me about taking the treck across this bridge. Windows rolled down, the salty ocean breeze revitalizing every fiber of my being. So often, I have found myself stressed out with a variety of life's concerns, but as soon as I hit this bridge and head across the water, I feel I'm escaping it all - put some good music on, take in the views of the ocean, good coffee in hand - it really is like I can have a mini-vacation within 20-30 minutes.
I literally feel like a spring break kid hitting the beach for the first time, nearly every time I drive across it. Wind blowing my hair all around, I really find myself wanting to yell "Yoohoo!!!"
