Orange Beach 2013

On Tuesday July 23, Tyler Sadie and I with Chip, Vanessa and Eliza loaded up and headed to Orange Beach.  We actually drove to Mobile on Tuesday night and stayed so the trip wouldn't be so long on our girls.  We woke up early Wednesday morning and headed on down.  We stopped at the Foley Outlet malls on the way down.  The girls were ridiculously exhausted due to the fact all 6 of us shared a hotel room the night before.  I don't recommend this to anyone.  Lets just say not much sleep happened for any of us.
We drove on down to the condo and unloaded what felt like our entire house.  Traveling now isn't quite like it used to be.  Every time we go somewhere I feel like I pack my entire house. Anywho... Wednesday we played at the pool for a bit then let the girls nap.  That night we headed to Tacky Jack's for dinner.  It was good but Sadie was so sleepy most of my time was spent trying to keep her entertained without her losing her mind.
Thursday we headed to the beach! We were so lucky that the girls absolutely loved everything about the beach.  The sand, the water, everything! Such a blessing.  They played and played and played.  They were so precious.  We spent all day on the beach going back and forth from the ocean back to the tent.  It was great.

Ocean bound!

Just'a hanging out in their chairs

Getting so sleepy from playing so hard all day!

We came in around 3:30 and let the girls nap while we all hung around and got ready for dinner.  We took some pictures before we went out to dinner...

This night we went to Cosmo's.  It was delish! I had a banana leaf wrapped sea bass...YUM.  We sat outside where a band was playing so it seemed to keep the girls pretty entertained.  

These eyes :)

Friday we were beach bound again! We spent all day on the beach and laid low that night.  We ordered pizza and stayed in.

On Saturday we woke up to lots of rain:(( We were able to get in a quick lunch at The Gulf restaurant. It's a really neat place right on the beach and the food was great.  Definitely somewhere we want to go back to but hopefully next time we won't be cramming the food in our mouths trying to get done before the next storm blew in.

We weren't able to ever get to the beach this day so we hung around the condo.  That night we loaded up and went to The Hangout for dinner.  We met Vanessa's little cousins there for dinner.  Apparently I took all the pictures this night on my phone so I don't have any to post:(

Sunday we loaded it all up and headed home! The trip couldn't have gone any better and we can not wait to go back next year!
