To The Beach!

We met up with our favorite Texans at Gulf Shores, Alabama for a few days of a “vacation from our vacation”.

The beach was beautiful white sand and very clean. The dunes were very pretty but the walk through the sand got a little long. It wasn’t unlike walking through unshoveled snow but much more pleasant.

We stayed at a large resort called Gulf Shores Plantation. It had a beautiful beach and more pools than we could even get to in our 3 night stay. People traveled here with an impressive amount of equipment – there were so real beach pros!

The waves were just right for playing around and everyone had fun in the water.

We collected a tremendous amount of seashells during the day as well as on an evening walk. All 12 of us went to Lulu’s for dinner one evening. Lulu is Jimmy Buffett’s sister so there were margaritas for the adults and sand for the kids.

There was plenty of time for digging a huge hole complete with a moat and all kinds of digging.

Apparently the whole was still there when we returned from Lulu’s around 10pm (some girls talked their dad into going down to check)

but was long gone when we went down to check the next morning. (Not to worry…This is fake crying)

There was a pond at the edge of our parking lot with these important directions.

Thanks for the beach fun!
