A Fun Labor Day Weekend in Gulf Shores, Alabama

We had a great time in Gulf Shores, Alabama with Sheila and Pete. Sheila and Pete did not get in until late Friday night so we did a little exploring ourselves. 

Gulf Shores


Love those kids!!



We had dinner at The Hangout



and drinks!!


After dinner we walked to Souvenir City. It has been open since 1936.




Beautiful sunset


My baby girl!


The next morning we found a great donut shop called City Donut.


Then it was time for the beach.

Fun times with friends!




Pete loving the waves!


The non-swimmers


We thought a wave was going to drown us but it didn't.

Dylan and Michael tried something called Fly Boarding.

At night we walked on the beach with flashlights to watch and catch the little crabs running on the beach.  While we were walking we found this cool sandcastle.


Dylan had fun catching those little things!



Sunday we actually relaxed and did a little shopping since it was raining. Then Pete and Michael went out and rode wave runners .


Cass, Dylan, Sheila and I went to Gulf Shores State Park and walked on the beach looking for turtle eggs.



It was so pretty.



It was great to spend time with my friend!



A storm off in the distance.


Sheila found some pieces of turtle eggs.



Then we had some pool time.

Dylan enjoyed riding the boogie board. 




It was raining a little when we went on the dolphin cruise but we got to see dolphins!


We were wet and cold but still having a good time!


Another beautiful sunset!



On the way home we made a quick stop in New Orleans to eat lunch in the French Quarter. 

It is amazing how fast a weekend can go when you are having fun!!
