Beach Vacay 2015

In July we took a family vacation to the beach, Orange Beach, AL to be exact. It was Calla's first time to go to the beach and I'm so glad we got to take her. Such a fun time for all of us and our family too! 

As soon as we got to the beach and checked in to our condo, we hit the beach. The girls loved it. Augusta went straight to the water and played in the waves. She and her daddy went out into the water and jumped waves for over 30 minutes! Calla was more into the sand. She loved the water too, once she was used to it. But she loves grabbing fistfuls of sand more than anything! 

The next morning we hit the beach early. The girls had a ball again--playing in the sand, swimming, and watching Dolphins 
Augusta still enjoyed jumping waves. Calla liked the water too. She acted pretty much the same way she dies at the pool, going back and forth--only this time between eating, playing the the water, and playing in the sand. Calla was so cute pointing to the waves and saying "water!"

We went for lunch at Tacky Jack's. I think it's our favorite restaurant we've tried down there (Not that we've eaten at many). But we love their fish tacos. It didn't disappoint. It was so pretty sitting on their covered patio on the bay. And we had fun feeding the fish afterwards. For dinner we ate at a place called Live Bait--barely even worth mentioning, lol. But Augusta did think their karaoke machine was pretty cool. 

Tuesday we also did the beach early--pretty much was our routine for everyday.  Augusta got itchy in the sand and had to go up with her daddy. It was about lunch/NapTime so Calla and I followed shortly. Then while my crew napped--mommy went back down to the beach. It was too pretty not to. 

That night we took our family pictures. The girls did great, for the most part. Either way, we ended up with some beautiful shots that I can't wait to frame. After our pictures we went on a shopkins hunt and grabbed dinner while we were out and about. 

The next day was another early beach morning, our last to actually be on the beach. The girls had a big time. Augusta went back and forth between ocean and pool. Calla had fun between and and ocean. They were getting super tired--it had been a big week. 

We left the beach early for lunch at lulu's. It was a nice restaurant. Again, we are on a covered deck on the bay. But this time it was such a hot day that lunch was still pretty steamy. The girls were like zombies while they ate--probably the most chill dinner out we've ever had! 

We napped then took pictures with my entire family that night. Again, we got some good shots. And it was nice to have two different sets of pictures. We also went out to dinner at another little restaurant. (Have no idea what it was called!)

The next morning it was time to head out. The girls were both ready to get home and have some play time. Augusta was saying that her toys missed her! On our way out, we stopped at the outlets and did a little school shopping. 

We had such a fun time at the beach! Mommy is ready to go back, but I think we may try a different venue next year unless the family is all wanting to go again. I think Augusta wants to visit somewhere different--she told me she doesn't want to go to the beach next year, but wants to go to an aquarium! Only time will tell! Until next summer, here's to you vacation!
