We had a wonderful time at Gulf Shores with my parents, brother and Maria. It was a much needed vacation. Savannah Grace did GREAT in the car during the 8 hour car ride down and back. She also took great naps and slept through the night. We saw fireworks from the balcony of the condo on the 4th of July. Jeff and Brian burned their backs while making a sea turtle in the sand. Savannah Grace stayed out of the sun most of the time. We were able to get her down early in the morning and late at night. Skyler went in the waves with dad. I have a video that I will post once I get it from my parents. Brian, Savannah, Skyler and I all drove the zoo in Gulf Breeze, FL. We got to feed all sorts of animals. My favorite and the reason I insisted we went was the giraffes. That was worth the money to get in just to do that. We also fed sheeps, goats, llamas, birds, bunnys and whatever else would eat the food we had. When is rained we headed to the Tanger Outlets in Foley. We lasted about 2 hours in the heat before SG decided she was too hot. We headed home early while my family stayed an shopped. Brian and I went back the next day and made up for it big time. It was nice to have some alone time and I got to spend money. Maria had her birthday down there and we went to the Oyster House! It was really good. Skyler found out she LOVED shrimp! She even decided to eat my shrimp tails. We went to the store and I said look Skyler a shark in a jar. She said "ewwww." I said do you want a shark in a jar? She said no. So then we got home about two hours later she says to Brian, " Daddy, I wish I had a shark in a jar to take home." So she did some chores at the condo and we went back to get a shark in a jar. I am sure that will end up in my classroom. She also bought some farm animals with her own money at the outlet mall. We ate at Sea N Suds and that was the best dining experience for Savannah Grace so we got her a T-shirt even though the smallest size was 2T. It was a great time and we are greatful that Jeff and Maria came down. We are very greatful for my parents for getting the condo and making our vacation wonderful!
Now it is time to get Savannah ready to head to daycare and I have to go back to work.
