A BEACH TRIP AND A GRAMMA TRIP

A couple of weeks ago Kenny and I were so lucky to be able to get away on a couples trip to Rosemary Beach while Elle and Walker got some super fun quality time with Gramma and Pop.  We checked Elle out from school on Thursday and rode down to Fairhope.  Margaret rode with us since we were staying at her condo and Jay had to work late.  Then Missy and Jack met us down there Thursday night. Elle was a little sad when we left which made us sad but she perked up after the first night! It is easy to forget missing Mommy and Daddy when you are getting spoiled rotten by grandparents.  Walker couldn't of cared less. He had the best time and never looked back when we left.

The first night we were somewhat late getting in so Kenny, Margaret and I went and ate tapas and had a drink at La Crema and waited for everyone else to get there.  Jack and Missy got there shortly after and were able to eat with us and then we all shared some chocolate fondue that was yum! And then we headed back to the condo to hang out for a little bit before we went to bed.  The boys had a early tee at a nice golf course the next morning. 
Walker found some of Daddy's hats when we were packing.

The next day, the boys got up and played a fun round of golf and the girls took our time in the morning drinking coffee before putting on some workout clothes and going for a long walk down the beach.  It was a little chilly but still so beautiful. After our really long walk we were starving and went and had some mid day cocktails and a delicious lunch at Cowgirl Kitchen.  It was so relaxing and so fun.  After lunch we went back down to the beach to just hang out and wait on the boys to meet us down there with a drink after their golf game.  Later on, we got showered and dressed to go have dinner at George's.  George's is one of my favorite restaurants on 30A hands down!

The boys. They were feeling really good and having lots of fun!

Kenny felt like Jack needed to try one of his shrimp.
Meanwhile here are the kids curled up in bed watching cartoons and eating their first breakfast of the morning.  They always have a snack breakfast and then Gramma cooks a big breakfast.

The next day was Saturday. We went had an amazing breakfast at Cowgirl Kitchen and it was a little cloudy in the morning so we hung out some in the movie room and then when the sun came out we hung out on the roof at the rooftop pool.  We grilled this deer sausage Jack has that we all love and had cheese and crackers and just snacked for a late lunch before going to dinner at Cafe 30A which was great and another fun night!
The boys were watching golf and relaxing in the movie room.

The next day it was time to go home but of course it was the day we had the nicest weather.  Monday was President's Day so Elle didn't have school so we planned to stay in Fairhope Sunday night so we were able to take our time leaving and enjoy the weather a little. Missy and Jack had to get back to Starkville but Margaret and Jay were able to stay too.  We spent a few hours on the beach and it was so gorgeous and we all got sunburned!
Leaving the beach and Rosemary! One last pic!

We spent Sunday night in Fairhope and drove back to Starkville the next day pretty early.  The kids were beat.  The did so many fun things while they were in Fairhope.  Walker even napped in the car.  It was a great getaway with friends and with Kenny and the kids enjoyed their time in Fairhope too.
