Hunter and I got back a couple days ago from Orange Beach. Though it was only for a few days, it was the perfect little get away. We really needed to escape together and that's exactly what it was- an escape. We had such a good time! I love my husband so much- he's the bestest best friend I could ever ask for and we really had fun together on this trip. We laughed a lot together, ate some amazing food together and purely enjoyed each other's company.
This is our pretty little room.
The waves were pretty choppy. I wish you could have seen how bad this boat was rocking!
My prince :)
We took a walk and came across this HUGE jellyfish. Some kids were trying to scoop it up to put it back in the ocean... uuuhhh. That thing could kill someone.
When I think about it, I really believe that God designed this place we call the beach for His children. He knew we would need vacations :)
The sleeping beauty (I'm pretty sure this is when the sun rays decided to deep fry him)
Our pool deck was built on top of the water. It was cool!
Hunter found a stick. Isn't he cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute?
Jello wrestling??? Come on, people. This is sad.
"Tick tock, tick tock..." this is the alligator that gave captain Hook his name... not really.
Eatin' some fried gator bites. I was all excited to try these... and then I bit into one. All I could think was "Don't show Hunter the 8 year old Heather... Don't show Hunter the 8 year old Heather..." It took everything in me not to gag and embarrass him the way I used to do my family!! Haha. The texture was horrible and they tasted the way a lake smells... BUT Hunter liked them. Good thing we didn't waste our money :)
This is The Oyster House. So pretty! (Don't order the gator bites...)
This is a gummi bear on a stick that cost 12.99. No thank you.
I couldn't wait to take Hunter to Souvenir City! I've been coming here since I was a little kid!
OOOOOKKKKK so the day we left, we were going to eat at this place called Lambert's b/c it was on the Food Network. But the line was insane, so we went to a cajun bistro down the street. BEST FOOD we ate all trip. This po boy literally brought tears to my eyes. It brought my taste buds back to the very first time I ate a shrimp po boy in New Orleans. You just can't get them like you can in Louisiana. Since we moved from Louisiana, I've had a lot of po boys, but none compared to the ones in New Orleans. BUT THIS ONE, oh man. It was pretty much perfection.
Hunter asked for some hot sauce. This is what they brought. This is his vision of heaven.
If you're ever in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach/Foley Alabama..... go to Les Roux!!
There are some funny zoo pictures I still need to post.... at least.... I think they're funny.....
