Way back in October we headed to Gulf Shores, AL for a week long vacation with some of our closest friends. The trip down was quite eventful, delayed 2 days by the dreaded stomach bug hitting our family. But, once we were well enough to travel our determination and desire to get to the BEACH got us through 17 hours of driving in one day to wake up to the beach Monday morning. We had a great week and look forward to the next time we get to have sand between our toes!
