The Beach!!!

By far what our family looks forward to the most every year is our annual trip to the beach. Gary longs to return to where he grew up and the girls love to be there and play and swim and enjoy the waves. I long to have some time off work, relax, sleep in and have fun away from home. This trip did not disappoint anyone. We had a great time. The weather cooperated every day except Monday afternoon. We took that opportunity to head into Foley and shop and see a movie and by then the rain had moved out so we enjoyed some time at the Track with mini golf and go-karts. It was nice to not have a schedule, get ice cream at the on-site ice cream parlor each night, sleep in, enjoy the Olympics as a family and have very few things to think about. Great trip!!
