Spring Breakin'

Truffles has gotten so big, she's bigger than Spike. Mind you, she's 3 months old (eek!).

After a few days at home, my aunt, cousin, mom, and I headed down to Gulf Shores for a few days at the beach.In Mobile, we stopped and at Felix's on Battleship Parkway. We got a great table next to the window overlooking the bay.

I got Broiled Crabcakes that were over a fried green tomato. The crab was awesome but the tomato wasn't my favorite (green tomatoes can just be sour).

We got to our condo and were so happy to be there! The place was great and so was the company. After getting settled, we made rotel dip and sat on the balcony. This is the view looking to the right.

This condo was pretty near perfect. Looking over the right side of the railing, you could see the back bay! So, we were able to have two views at once.

See that blue tent on the right? That's ours. We had a little trouble with it (it's been broken and it only got worse) and in the end, had to leave it in the dumpster on the way home.

Cary was excited about Rotel and the beach.

Jan even had her fuzzy socks on (she even took them to the beach in case she got cold).

The next day was perfect. It was warm (but not hot), a slight breeze, and calm. That morning we even saw two groups of dolphins.

For lunch we had chili and all kinds of fixin's. I had a chili/nacho/salad. It was good.

After lunch, Jan even brought out spoonfuls of cookie dough... Mmmmm.

After that is all a blur. Wait! Not really... I just got lazy with the camera. We ordered dinner from the Shrimp Basket and picked it up and ate on the balcony. That nights, we watched Leatherheads, a movie my mom brought that she had gotten on Netflix.

The next day was a little more windy and chilly than the day before. We started off by going down to the beach and taking down our tent. Unfortunately, the wind had battered it throughout the night and it had broken beyond what we could do to fix it. So, we broke it down and then just sat in our beach chairs.

However, it was so windy! After about 30 minutes we decided/realized we could have the same experience minus the wind on our balcony because the cement wall on the left side of our balcony would buffer the wind. So, we sunbathed on the balcony and enjoyed the waves.

For lunch, we decided to get ready and eat lunch out. We headed to the Original Oyster House and had some great food. I had popcorn shrimp and crab cakes while others got crab stuffed mushrooms, Mahi Mahi, and shrimp. We ended the meal with some awesome Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie. Dee-lish!

We came back and lounged for the rest of the day, some of us (me) sunbathing, reading books and napping. That night we grazed on all kinds of leftovers.

Sadly, it was time to go. After packing, we loaded up and headed home with Bun Rab at the wheel.

Bun Rab?? How'd you get up there?

After driving a couple of hours, we were back in Hattiesburg. We decided on burgers, meeting David at Mugshots. Awesome! After finishing lunch, it was time for Cary and I to say goodbye and our moms to head back to Jackson.

Can't wait for the next adventure!
