Headed South!

The only way I'll ever get my beach pics on here is if I upload them in an organized manner so here it goes with day 1. DAY 1

We left our house at 6 am Sunday morning July 3rd. (Yep, 6am. That's how excited we were!) and headed south. We drove until JB figured out how to unbuckle part of her car seat about 3 hours into our trip. We had to pull over and fix it and then back on the road. We did not get into any traffic at all which was surprising because it was 4th of July weekend. We drove to Foley and stopped at the outlet malls and ate lunch. After a brief stop at the outlet malls, we headed to Orange Beach. We made it to our condo and unloaded the car which was packed FULL. We took Alan's Sequoia and even had to take out the 3rd row of seats just to fit all of our stuff! I unpacked all of our clothes, toiletries, and food the minute we arrived. Next, we went to the BEACH! Jane Baird refused to stand in the ocean and was terrified when the waves crashed into the shore. She wanted to be held if we were anywhere near the water. She didn't like walking through the sand either (neither did Mommy...quite a workout and we had a long walk) but loved playing in it and eating it. She would lick her hands and then crunch on it. Yuck! I would make her spit it out and then a few minutes later I would hear that crunching sound again. After a little play time on the beach, we swam for a little while at the condo's pool. We all went back to the condo to get ready for dinner. I had purchased some restaurant.com gift certificates to a few places with good reviews so we were were going to use those up first. We had planned to go to Bubba's Seafood (Alan's favorite) but the wait was 2hrs so we went to Franco's instead. Jane Baird prefers Italian to seafood and she was starving. We had an hour wait so she entertained the crowd while we waited. She got lots of attention and ate it up! She put on a big show with all of her dance moves. I can't tell you how many people came up to us and told us how precious she was. We ended up getting our dinner to go because it was just taking way too long and JB was getting tired. We went back to our condo and JB crashed! That was the end of Day 1. Breakfast before we leave for the BEACH! Enjoying the beach :) Playing with her sand toys

Crashed at the end of the night! Waiting to be seated for dinner About to start jumping off the bench Posing for a picture. She HATES to be photographed...guess I've worn her out ;)
