We had so much fun during our week in Gulf Shores. The beach house was incredible, the weather beautiful, and so many laughs with family we hadn't seen in 3 years. We spent time on the beach and I think my two girls were the only ones to come back completely wet. Too cold for me to even put my toes in. We enjoyed a private group dolphin cruise and saw several dolphins up close and personal. After the cruise all 34 of us went to eat at Lambert's - "home of the throwed roll". What a fun place to eat and way, way too much food. Several family members visited the USS Alabama and Fort Morgan. There were lots of games and cards played and many laughs to go along with the fun.
New Year's Eve brought about an impromptu talent show with many participants. Don's cousin John should be voted "the most talented" (or at least the one brave enough to let us laugh at him through so many of his performances). The "east coast time zoners" could not figure out how to celebrate New Year's when the ball in Times' Square actually dropped at 11 p.m. central time. I think Don and I helped them understand.
New Year's Day was spent watching football games, walks on the beach, family pictures, book reading, game playing, and overall just relaxing. It was such a peaceful place to bring in the New Year. Can't wait to do it again in 3 years........where will we go?????
Oh, by the way, I need to tell about our "red-neck traveling". Don just had to take the new truck to show it off to his family. Since it was raining on the day we left, he packed our luggage in black garbage bags. What a sight.....driving down the highway in the rain, with bags flapping in the wind. To add to the shame, we stopped at a hotel on the way down and the bell boy had to carry the garbage bags on the cart up to our room. What a memory!
