Gulf Shores

We decided to take a big family trip to Gulf Shores, Alabama to celebrate my in-laws 50th Anniversary {you may remember we went to Tybee Island, Georgia for their 40th anniversary}  Scheduling 22 people is no small feat, but I'm so  thankful we blocked the time 18 months ago!  This trip was a dream, & I have a million photos to share!  If you prefer a little list of favorites, jump to the bottom.  The weather ended up being perfect and other than dining out and a quick stop at a souvenir shop, we spent all day, every day at the beach, the pool, or a combination of both.  I can't remember feeling this recharged in a long time.  Sunrises, mimosas, reading, resting, sunshine, seafood, and sunsets all week -- ahh!
