Beach Trip 2012

I know...I am posting about the beach in November...who does that!? ME!! :) I kind dropped the ball on making post regularly like I promised I would about 6 months ago. However, I need to do a little catching up. I know it's November but i guess it makes me feel a little better that we didn't take our beach trip until September-so I'm only 2.5 months behind-ha! We have been going to Gulf Shores for the majority of my life and were actually planning on going back there again this year until Hurricane Isaac had different plans for us and decided to hit land the day we were suppose to be leaving. So, we didn't let it ruin our beach plans so we just relocated to Destin Flordia. It was a nice change and the place we stayed in was closer to the beach than I have ever stayed. We were literally 50 feet from the sand and were on the first floor (which was AWESOME with the kids) and it didn't hurt that we enjoyed eating our pancakes on the porch each morning watching the waves hit shore. HEAVEN! It was my birthday while we were there so Austin and the boys surprised me and we got to stay an extra day- just the 4 of us. That was the best present I could have ever been given. I love going places and spending time away from home with my 3 sweet boys. My hubby knows my love language- TRIPS and QUALITY TIME! Landry got to experience lots of fun things while we were there. He got to ride go carts for the first time and Dado also rented a very unique 3 wheel car and he and Landry drove around town for about an hour. Lochlan enjoyed the beach as well. Can you guess what his favorite thing to do? Eat the sand of course! The weather was nice while we were there thanks to all the wind from Hurricane Isaac. We had a blast and I'm looking forward to next years beach trip!
