Gulf Shores Vacation 2014 {The Beach 1}


Sunday was our first day at the beach.  Brad, JT, Emmy, and I headed down to the beach bright and early to stake out our spot.  We were representing!

We spent the day at the beach soaking up rays and swimming with the 'fishes'--in my biggest mobster voice.

Our beach house was called Plum Perfect, and I think it kind of was!

Papa even made his way down to the beach!

After family photos which you can see here, we went for dinner at LuLu's.  It's always fun.

Monday was another day at the beach for our early morning crew.  Some of our group decided not to venture down to the water, but we didn't let that keep us from having fun.

One little girl decided she wanted to brave the waves.  She was an amazing little surfer girl.

Brad found Emmy a whole family of sand dollars, but Mom and I decided to become bleeding hearts so we took a photo and threw them back.

Brad and I promised Emmy a necklace and a snow cone for her good behavior during family pictures, so we had to make due on our promise.

There was a storm during the night, so when we headed down to the beach Tuesday morning, we were in for a surprise.  The surf had washed away a huge chunk of the beach and left us with a three foot drop!

It didn't take long for us to get rained out, so we spent the afternoon hanging out in the house and playing dominoes.  MY FAVORITE!

We got dressed and went to Lambert's for dinner.  We had to wait FOREVER, but it didn't disappoint.  I only ate one roll--much to my detriment.

Stayed tuned for the action-packed play-by-play of the rest of our vacation. ;)
