June 5 - June 12 was our family vacation to Gulf Shores, AL. The trip was pretty uneventful on the way down for us. NC rode with Will and I, and Parker went with Ninny, Tita, and Mimi. They said he entertained them the whole way...I'm not surprised!! NC slept most of the way! When we got there, we went to our condo at the Lighthouse and were pleasantly surprised. It was better than pictures could describe! The condo was very nice and decorated tastefully. We spent most of the week at the beach and pool. We spent most mornings at the beginning of the week at the beach and most afternoons at the pool. We were so glad Poppy could join us on Monday. This was his first vacation in 17 years...crazy isn't it. How can you go 17 years without vacation? I guess its called working as a farmer! I think he had a great time, and I have a feeling he will be joining us lots now since he is retired! By the time we left yesterday, the oil was starting to arrive. Such a sad situation!! We made several trips during the week to the outlet mall, the Track for parker to ride rides, ate at Mellow Mushroom, had a picnic on the pier at the Gulf State Park, and then went with Will and Tita to eat at Louisiana Lagniappe (our favorite restaurant there!). We had a fabulous week with all of our family, and we can't wait to go back again next year!
