Gulf Shores 2008

Well today my family and I got back from our vacation to the beach. The 8 hour car ride there was very hectic with Larissa in the car. I was surprised though because she did so god and was so calm. By the last two hours of the trip though she was so pooped that she couldn't even pick her sweet head up. But of course when we finally reached our destination she was ready to go looking around and oohhhing and aahhing at everything that she saw!!! Larissa did not know what to think of the beach and the sand at first. She had some problems walking in it but by the time that we had to leave to go home she was an old pro at it.

She loved to look up at the sky and call to the seagulls "by the way we learned a new word" and even chase them down the beach. Everywhere we went she kept saying seagulls, seagulls, seagulls, and it was hard trying to get her to understand why they wouldn't come to her and would rather fish in the ocean. She built some sand castles while we were there and loved to run up and down the beach!!


We had so much fun that I came home and started trying to plan a family trip for next summer where we have more time and can stay a week in the sand and the ocean!!
