Gulf Shores

We left on New Years Eve to drive to Gulf Shores with Chris, Sunny & Olivia. It wasn't warm enough to swim in the ocean but it was great for hiking and exploring.  One of our activities was going to Fort Morgan.

 

We spent the afternoon at Gulf Shores State Park.  Beautiful views and lots of shells to pick up.

Who would not love a giant Unicorn Ice Cream?  Olivia said, "I'm so happy"!

We saw these on the beach one day.  Apparently after storms these Man-O-Wars wash up on the beach.

Steve & I had a trip planned to Gulf Shores.  He ended up staying home due to construction starting on our farm house. My friend Karen joined me instead.  We found a really cute place to eat our lunch.   It was located right on the beach.  We really enjoyed it.

Another place we found was called the Flora-Bama.  Apparently everyone has heard of this place except the 2 of us.  It's located on Florida/Alabama state line. As you can tell from the pictures it is a rather interesting place.

Our timeshare was really cute.  It was also right across the street from the beach.  We walked over every morning and just enjoyed the view.

 On our way home we stopped in Laurel, Mississippi.  It's the home of Ben and Erin who have a show on HGTV.  They own a couple of really cute home stores.
