Beach Trip

We went on a super fun vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama!

Tyler and Chandra and their family were supposed to meet up with us, but we made plans before they decided to move to Utah. They weren't able to come with us, so we just went by ourselves. We missed them a lot but still had a great time.

Ready to head out

Made it to the hotel in Georgia

Got Chick-Fil-A for lunch

We were right across the street from the Mall of Georgia, so of course we had to do some shopping!

They had a Coach store in the mall and I bought this pink purse.

They had a Cheesecake Factory in the mall too, so we had to stop by there

We let each kid pick one out

We ate them for dessert and part of breakfast the next day

Hotel breakfast

We passed the Big Foot statue on one of our stops along the way

The kids were so good in the car, just played their tablets or slept the whole time

First stop when we got to the beach was Walmart, to get the necessities

We had ice cream cones every day

They were pretty fancy

The beach

The kids loved finding shells

Our AirBnb had a fun pool that we went to three times a day

Eating out at Mexican

There was an excessive Heat Watch the whole week we were there so in the middle of the day, we tried to stay indoors. The kids did a Pokemon puzzle one day.

Turned out great

Watching a show

The AirBnb was really nice

We pretty much lived in our swimsuits all week

The kids loved the beach

At the pool again

On our deck

On our 5 minute walk to the beach

Boogie boarding

Tanner said he wanted to dig a hole at the beach, so we helped him

And we buried him too

More ice cream

At the souvenir shop

We brought our tennis stuff and found the most awesome tennis complex.

We played 3 out of the 5 days that we were there.

It was a little hot

But still fun!

The kids are naturals

Kinley did great!

Maddie and Tanner are taking tennis lessons this summer

And we played a little doubles

Cooling off in the pool

The beach was so nice and was never crowded

Night swimming

We got all the kids Gulf Shores t shirts

The kids found some pretty cool shells

More tennis

Got yummy smoothies and smoothie bowls

Kinley fell asleep on the way to McDonalds.

I think we wore her out!

McDonald's for our last meal

One last time at the beach

It was so beautiful

Digging another fun hole

And that was our vacation!

We had such a fun time relaxing and getting a break from our routine.
