We headed down to Gulf Shores, AL this past weekend and spent a few days just relaxing together and having a great time. As the kids get older it is so much more fun to go places and watch them have new experiences! Trust me, if you haven't done it, vacationing with three babies/toddlers/diaper-wearers is NOT a vacation.
(In the past I have been known to have a nervous breakdown a day or so into a trip with babies and spend the rest of the time crying and begging K to take me home.)
On this trip we spent most of the time on the beach or by the pool. We ate breakfast and lunch in and dinner out. Here are some random photos from the trip:
Ham!!!
A nice lady on the beach offered to take a family shot! Wasn't that sweet?!
There were lots of jellyfish out and about on Friday afternoon. Everyone ended up getting stung/itchy.
Dinner at Lambert's Cafe - "Home of throwed rolls". This is a
must
each time we head to the beach! If you haven't been - go, now, stop reading this and go (j/k!) This place serves "country food" think: Grandma or really, really good Cracker Barrel. And LOTS of it, plus when you want a roll you raise your hand a the "roll guy"
throws one to you from across the restaurant! Good manners, no, but the kids love it!!!
Speaking of a "throwed" roll, they are tasty (and huge)!
Kallie agrees!
Butter, anyone?
All in all, we had a great time. Oh yeah, one more thing we did that was really fun. This was new for the kids - we went to a Japanese Steakhouse. You know, where the chef comes out and cooks on the hibachi right infront of you?! It was super-fun to see the kids interact and react with him and his mad knife skills! Yes, it was expensive but a true treat!
