Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
Sunday at the beach was a much prettier day! We got up and got going to get in some good beach time!
Samantha had said she wasn’t going to get in the ocean because she’s afraid of sharks…but that didn’t last!
Lots of beach football always!
I’m more of a beach walker and sitter than a beach football player!
We took a mid-day break from the heat to get lunch at The Gulf…
Love my people.
We then made a pit stop at Alvin’s Island…
More fun tomorrow!
On Maxwell’s birthday, we drove down to Orange Beach for the long weekend with Robert’s family. It was a long drive down but we finally got there about 10pm. We were not happy to wake up on Saturday and see this!
Thankfully it cleared up a little that afternoon and we got some beach time in! Hooray!
Unfortunately the beach time also came with some jellyfish stings – which was a recurring theme all weekend!
Thankfully she survived and we had fun.
That night it was pizza, AL football and the baby in the condo – Maxwell was in heaven!
More beach tomorrow!
Last week we decided to take a last minute trip down to Naples to end summer! We flew down Thursday afternoon and had a good dinner Tommy Bahama and then had a really good beach day on Friday!
Nothing better than lunch on the beach…
especially when it’s lobster!
Unfortunately, Tropical Storm/Hurricane Debby was making her way into the Gulf and someone HAD to be back for football on Monday so we had to jet out of town earlier than expected. But, we still managed to get in one last excellent dinner at Campiello and a game of scrabble!
It was definitely too short of a trip but I’m still glad we went!
Debby was definitely a downer…
but it’s ok, we’ll be back!
While down in Naples we also…
Got our 10K+ steps every day…
Saw the Garfield movie…
Had lobster at The Bay House…
Enjoyed another day at the pool…
and at the beach…
And another sunset…
We also learned to play Scrabble! My favorite part of the trip! 🙂
Then it was sadly time to leave…
We had an adventurous trip home making our flight by a mere 15 minutes…but we made it! Another great trip in the books and we’re ready to go back!
After dinner at Buzz’s in Naples we were playing Bananagrams and realized we had left our shovels down at the beach! Uh oh! Not wanting them to wash away we headed down there right around 8pm and the kids ran out to the beach to grab them. Maxwell quickly called me and said I had to get out there…this is why!
Spectacular!
I don’t know why we’ve never headed to the beach for sunset before! Naples is the best.
