We got home from our trip at a decent time today. We didn’t feel too haggard and my lunch “on the road” at Panera Bread (which this town does not have. hmph.) was quite tasty. Then we feasted on hot dogs (thank goodness we had SOMETHING in the fridge) and some of the sweetest corn that I’ve ever put my mouth on, from a farmer’s market in Alabama. I’m pretty sure we drove BY the corn field that they picked this stuff from. And probably this morning. That’s how fresh it was.
I also bought some local peaches that are the juiciest, sweetest things EVAH. Peach cobbler, melba or pie anyone? Okay fine, all of the above…
(can you tell I’m eating carbs lately? yes, so can my waistline. ahem.)
Anyway, once we got settled back at home, I started looking at all the photographs I took (and Tim even took a few) and I got just a “leetle” overwhelmed (can you say seven-hundred and seventy??).
Oops.
But (there’s always a “but”, isn’t there?) it’s just so easy to take lots of pics while at the beach. Especially of cute kids. Like mine. 🙂
So… I had this idea to post some pics of just my three darlings from the trip, for now anyway. We packed A LOT into 5.5 days. Seriously.
So here goes, some shots of my sweeties. And perhaps a few comments form the “peanut gallery” (a.k.a. ME)…
we had a LOVELY place for the kids to sleep, don’t you think? Awww, just kidding! This is inside the U.S.S. Alabama, a battleship docked in Mobile Bay.
Busy at the beach. I love that Tim is in this one too… 🙂
Outside of McGuire’s Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL. If you are ever in this town you MUST go to this place. It’s quite the experience.
Can you see that in the last two pictures each child has a “stuffie”? These are the new ones that we bought at the souvenir shop. Obviously they like them… (taken outside of the Original Oyster House in Gulf Shores, AL – delish!)
Oh the beach at sunset. The ONLY way to get K in the shot was to let her play in the sand. So be it. And doesn’t Little G look just SOOOO happy?!?! He’s seriously showing you the shell he found on the beach, that’s all…
On the way out to Johnson Beach which is located in a national park pretty close to where we stayed. We were practically the only people there and the waves were amazing.
And now? I want to live in Florida. Or Alabama. On the beach.
I want to be a beach bum.
Wouldn’t that be SO awesome? For real?
I think so.
Linked up to Wordful Wednesday at PBD’s place!
Come on down to FL! You were in my brother’s neighborhood, he lives in Pensacola. I’m further south. The pics are great! I’m glad y’all had a good time.
Looks like you all had a great time! My kidlets are aching to get to the coast this summer. Truth be told, so am I!!! :>
Stopping in from Angie’s circus!
I love the one of them laying on the beds, and the one with them playing on the beach with her in the ruffley bathing suit. That looks like a super fun trip.
There is something to be said for living three miles from the beach! We try to remember to really take advantage of it…we figure we won’t live here forever!
I LOVE the photo of them in the sand with all the “stuff” that goes with it. Lovely!
Let’s move there together. I think the men could work at a souvenir shop and we could be beach bums all day long. I miss it already! Isn’t McGuire’s awesome? their burgers were incredible!
and re: Panera Bread…a little birdy told me that they are to be breaking ground on one in front of Academy shortly. 😉
You got a lot of great photos of all three of them! I especially love the last one. That would be so fun to have a beach to ourselves!
Love the pictures, especially the last one – that should be framed for sure! Awesome. 🙂
Oh my, next time we go Florida, it is going to be here, NOT DisneyWorld!!
Beautiful! Your photos are stunning and damn, you have cute kids. G made me laugh in that one, such a typical boy and boy do I know all about that 🙂
Cu-ute! And seriously so much fun!
Also? Your photography kicks some serious butt! *Love!*
GORGEOUS pictures!! The last one is my favorite!
Such gorgeous pics!
What a wonderful trip! Looks like you captured many great memories 🙂
Beautiful photos.
My dad has a condo in Pensacola—his old one was right on the beach, but after Hurricane Ivan, he moved inland. I’ve been to McGuire’s many times, but not recently—isn’t it the place with the dollar bills plastered all over the walls? LOVE!
xoxoxo
So with you. My dream is to home school the boys on the beach.
Honest.
We have yet to see the USS Alabama, sadly. By the time we usually hit Mobile, there’s no way in Hell we’re stopping. There’s always next trip.
