Beach Bums...

We took a vacation to Gulf Shores, AL for the week before Memorial Day weekend. It was a perfect time to go! There were only a few people there, the beach was not crowded and it was peaceful. Even the weather was good! We stayed at the Gulf Shores Plantation. It's a pretty neat collection of condo's. They have lots of pools scattered throughout the property and the property is well-maintained. We spent most of our time out on the beach. We'd sleep in in the mornings, go to the beach for a little while, go back to the condo for sandwiches, then nap. After that, we'd go back to the beach, go to the pool or go on a mini-trip.


One of our mini-trips was to visit Fort Morgan. It was fun to climb all the stairs with Zoe.



We also went to the outlet mall on another mini-trip. Zoe found all the kid rides that were along the sidwalks outside of the stores. She even made great friends of a store clerk when Zac went clothes shopping.


In the evening we'd go into town and eat at a resturant. We only visited three resturants even though we went out for dinner every night. We found one, called the Shrimp Basket, that we went to four times. They had all-you-can-eat popcorn shrimp on Sunday and Wednesday, and all-you-can-eat fish on Mondays and Thursdays. So we went on those days. It was gooooood! AND, not expensive.


So, we spent most of our time on the beach or at a cool pool for Zoe. The pool was huge, but half of the pool was only about a foot deep. Zoe loved it and we all had a blast relaxing and playing in the water. It doesn't sound like we did a lot on vacation - and we didn't - it was wonderful!
