Last full day in AL...make it a good one!

Today was our last full day in Alabama, and we started the morning off right with milk and beignets!  Ever since our trip to New Orleans, I have been in love with beignets.  I thought I would never get another one unless I made the long trip to Louisiana.  Fortunately for me we found a little hole in the wall called Cafe Beignet.  We have been driving past it all week and decided to try it out for breakfast.  All I can say is watch out Cafe duMonde!


After breakfast we decided to take another trip out to the beach.  The swimming conditions were red flagged because of strong currents and rough surf.  We found out about the rough surf alright!  Check out the pictures below...you can see where the surf was when we first settled and then you can see it creep up and give us the ol' sneak attack!  What a mess it made of our towels and belongings.  You know the locals were saying, "stupid tourist!"

We didn't let the surf get us down.  Hadley and I enjoyed a little splash time in the ocean!


Hadley didn't have a great time today.  I can't imagine why? 
Here she is with Austin and I both trying to comfort her...

We liked The Oyster House so much that we decided to eat dinner there again tonight.  Before we headed out, we decided to try our luck at the "camera timer" again.  Here's the picture we took on the balcony.

 

At dinner we all got a specialty drink.  Austin got a Pina Colada, I got the Victoria's Secret (P.S. I know what the secret it! :) and Hadley ordered up her staple: milk.  We are responsible parents...I promise! 


Well sort of...


And here's to a great vacation in Gulf Shores, Alabama!  We heart the sun and we heart you!
