Spring Beach Trip to Ft.Morgan, Alabama
















Again, I get the worst blogger award for the month. Oh well! As soon as we got back from the beach, we got ready for Blayne's birthday and family visiting plus work on top of that. I'll talk about the big 1st birthday in another post with pictures.
Now about the beach! We decided to share a condo with our friends, the Oleksik's, this year b/c we knew we'd both be planning vacations around the same time. It was super! They have two girls, ages 4 and 18 months. We love them so much!
We left on Tuesday afternoon and spent the night in Prattville at Ben's Aunt Cindy's house. All his other aunts and uncles came over for a yummy cookout. Blayne tried to stay awake as long as he could. It was nice to be with all of them.
Wednesday morning, we got up and got on the road headed south! About 10 minutes before our exit, we got pulled over. It actually was quite hilarious b/c of the officer's accent. He said, "where ya headin?" and we told him the beach. Then he proceded to say, "well, alby darn, you almost made it!" He let us go with a warning, thank goodness, and a good laugh!! Only in LOWER Alabama!!
We got to Gulf Shores, ate lunch, went to Walmart, and then headed to the condo way out in Ft. Morgan. Little windy the first day and half, but then the rest of the week was perfect! We ate at the Orginal Oyster House, Lambert's, and a new to us place called Cottons (filet mignon was amazing!). Good eats, good tan, lax schedule = great vaca!
Another good, relaxing vacation! 3rd time to the beach for Blayne. our neighbors actually make fun of how many times we've been to the beach in the last 9 months. I LOVE IT!
