Gulf Shores, Alabama

We had a really really good time at the beach last week. It was so nice to get away for a while and just relax. We left out on Friday after work. We thought breaking up the trip would be the best thing. So we spent the night in Vicksburg, Mississippi. We wanted to tour the battlefield in the morning so we got us a cheap hotel room and called it a night around midnight. We loved the battlegrounds, so beautiful. I haven't been there since I was a child and didn't really remember much of it. It took us about an hour to drive through the whole thing and of course I took tons of pictures. Here are a couple:

We arrived at our beach house on Saturday around 3:00 pm. The others had already made it there so we quickly decided on what we were going to eat on the next week and headed to Wal-Mart! We ate out a few times, but mostly cooked at the house every night and every morning. Taydem and Trever both loved the sand and water. Thank goodness Bradley came along to keep Trever busy. And Taydem and Tucker played so well together. I wasn't looking forward to the office at all yesterday morning. But it was time to get back to reality.
