Sun, Sand, & Surf {Gulf Shores 2013 ~ Part 1}

I had pretty much accepted the fact that we weren't going to go to the beach this year, but Brent's parents called us Monday morning and invited us to Gulf Shores with them for a few days! We were fortunate to find a place to stay last minute on a holiday weekend, but we loved the area where we stayed. We had a condo on West Beach Blvd in Gulf Shores. It was away from all of the high rises, and there were only beach houses around us - the beaches were never crowded. It was a VERY rainy weekend. In fact, they were reporting that it was the most rain they'd had in years. But we were able to run out to the beach for a couple hours at a time in between storms, and we spent Friday morning at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola. Our condo also had a great pool area and tennis courts that the boys loved! 

Headed out bright and early Thursday morning!

This was the pool area at our condo - it was great!
