Soooo...
We arrived in Gulf Shores Saturday around 2:30. We pulled into our Condo SUPER excited to run down to the beach (or possibly take naps) and check out the awesome kiddie pool. Relieved to be in an air conditioned building, we walk (me waddle) up to the front desk asking if we can check in early. Pleaseeee??? WELL...little did we know that a 17 year old hit the light pole outside our hotel at 7:30 in the morning drunk...guess he was finished up his night. Hopefully not starting his day...so the electricity was out a few blocks which put the cleaning schedule behind. Darn. We were told no more than 45 mins....MAYBE an hour. So they direct our sweet little cranky families up to the "lounge area" that has couches, a tv, and the work out area. It was nice......3:15 rolls buy...a few of us are getting ansy....3:30 rolls by and Scott goes downstairs to ask how much longer...OK now they HAVE to be through cleaning our room.....3:45....4:00...Jolynn walks downstairs to check on the progress.....then I decided I may need to pull the "feel sorry for me I am pregnant with a 1 1/2 year old card" but Jolynn has the keys. Way to go girl! We frolic and skip to our rooms relieved to be able to unpack and grocery shop.
Our condo is pretty nice. There are 3 bedrooms, two bath, kitchen, laundry, living room, and a gorgeous beach view!
We decided to eat out our first night because no one wanted to cook, so we went to Mikee's which is just down the road! Our location is great....right in the middle of everything but still quiet......
Our first night in the condo was quite and interesting one. Mallory and WC are learning how to play with each other at this point and there was a lot of bickering over toys! Poor girls....they were just having a hard time sharing! WC didn't give me that hard of a time falling asleep because she was up 10 HOURS STRAIGHT with no sleep....but I was very disappointed when WC woke up at 4 ready go play. No way hosea! She decided to take a short cat nap from 5 to 6. And the funny thing about this is??? Oh yeah...Mallory was up at the same hours....had no clue until the next morning! We hit the beach after chocolate chip pancakes and sausage and played alllll day. WC LOVED the sand. She loved to have her feet buried and her and Mallory played nicely with all the sand toys! WC was not really a big fan of the water.....she got in it and pretended to have fun, but she would've rather played in the awesome kiddie pool! And it is pretty awesome....
We had to spend the rest of the afternoon inside because of rain :( but made up for it with a yummy spaghetti dinner and putt putt!!! It was a fun day....although draining for myself because of the snarky mood my daughter was in half the day. But that was that day....and today is a new day!
