On our trip, there was lots of beach sitting, beer drinking, hand holding, lap sitting, pool swimming, sandcastle making, eating, exercising, fishing (not catching), barbie playing, talking, and laughing! I'm just going to do a giant photo dump of memories - so feel free to scroll quickly by or linger and enjoy! Of the activities I listed, what would be your favorite vacation activity?

I love this picture - father and son fishing - they've been doing it for years and years |

I'm never in the picture because I'm usually taking the pictures - here are two pictures of us! |

I'm so very thankful that we made the effort to take this trip together. We couldn't all be there but there were enough of us for a fun time. Lots and lots of memories were made during the week!
Gorgeous! Y'all look like a magazine advertisement for Alabama's Tourism Department! Me, I'd love to be right there on the sand with your little grandgirl and a pail of my own. Happy July 4 eve!
ReplyDeleteI'm still chuckling over the fact that you so kindly said we look like a magazine advertisement! We love Alabama's beaches so much that we probably would be good marketing agents . . .unless we want to keep it quiet so no one else will know how wonderful they are!!
DeleteAll great pictures!! Looked like so much fun!! And yummy looking food!
