We got to go to Gulf Shores, AL the second week in December with Chris's family. I know you're thinking, "The beach in December?!" but it was so much fun! It was a long trip but Sam's Auntie M got to fly over from Texas and drive with us. The weather was fabulous in the mid 70's and sunny all week. And since it was the off-season we didn't have to worry about crowds-we had the place to ourselves! Sam really enjoyed the sound of the ocean-he went to sleep everytime we went. But he did not care for the chilly water. We went fishing but it was really just "jelly-watching" since nothing was biting. We also saw a pair of cranes making a nest on one fo the small islands in the harbor. We had a picnic at sunset the last night we were there and the seagulls kept trying to figure out how to steal our food. Sam even ate some peas on the beach! The last day we were there, Chris decided he just had to go in the water even though it was the coldest day that week! Then he decided that I should go in, too. Auntie M told Sam that "Mommy + Daddy = WET KISSES!" We had a wonderful time and enjoyed an early Christmas with the Gilberts.
