Dauphin Island- June 2012

Last week was our much awaited/anticipated family vacation.  We went to Dauphin Island, AL along with my parents and my grandmother.  It was wonderful!  We stayed in an awesome house right on the beach that was thankfully well child-proofed.


We ate, played, laid, swam and had a few cocktails and we repeated it for 6 days.  Claire loved, loved, loved the ocean!  The more waves the better.  They would hit her in the face and she would just squeal and laugh... she's just like her mama... I still squeal and laugh.




Dauphin Island was a cool, retro type little town.  It was VERY "uncommercialized" which we loved.  There were less than a handful of places to eat, none of which were fancy (more like bar/grill).  At the end of a long day on the beach, we would take showers and put on pajamas, play on the deck and cook dinner.  What a treat it was to not have to get ready, dry hair and put on a bra to go out to dinner.  


We had fantastic weather, minus the last day of the trip.  One morning, a storm front moved in and out quickly and with it we got to see a water spout/tornado.  None of us had ever seen either one so it was pretty cool.


Overall, it was a fun, relaxing vacation.  Thanks Mom and Dad!
