The Beach

JP and I had been CRAVING the beach ALL summer! We could not go though because JP could never get time off of work. We finally were able to plan a trip for September. JP was able to get some time off and then he ended up get more time off then he imagined :)

We found this great website, VRBO, that we definitely will use again and recommend. We tried to go somewhere new to us like Seaside but all of the good places were already booked there. We decided to go to Gulf Shores and we ended up finding a condo that was only $60 a night!

We spent everyday on the beach...

Reading, Laying out, Playing frisbee and...

... playing in the waves!


We used our sweet beach bag we got from Lands End for $8 (normally it was like $36).

There were TONS of seagulls. We saw several that were miss a leg and it was really sad!

After the beach each day, we would go out and eat tons of seafood! We also got a really huge, good peanut butter pie one night. We ate good!

When JP and I were at WalMart getting food we passed the children's section and JP apparently really liked this shirt...

... he obviously couldn't wear it so he was very adamant about me getting. So I am now the proud owner of a "Gulf Shores, Alligator Attack" shirt


Overall we had an excellent trip! The weather ended up being perfect. The sun was out all day everyday, which was nice becausse we thought for sure it was going to rain the whole time.

I LOVE THE BEACH!
