Gulf Shores, Day 6

Oh, Day 6.  Our last day for vacay.  I determined NOT to steal from our last precious day by starting to pack or prep for tomorrow's drive until that night or even the next morning.  And I stuck to that!  Day 6 was our first entirely overcast day and was therefore not at all hot, but not too cool to play in the water either, which was still plenty warm. I was mesmerized by the brooding and super calm water.  This was as still as we ever saw it. I was drawn to that dark line where the sky meets the sea in the horizon too and kept sing Moana songs to it. Ha!

The beach was pretty empty today ... either because it was a Monday or because it was overcast.  But it made for a good low key last day for us.

 

Random scattered shells and shell fragments and yet ... so pretty all together where they washed up.

 

Eying the gray, blue, white, brown, and in-betweens.  So beautiful. 

Daily panoramic ... this time from the shore instead of the balcony.

Sandy baby scoping out my latest find. I have no idea what it is but I LOVE IT.

 

Josh out there.

 

The water was so calm, the waves were too weak to ride this day, but Josh was able to direct Noah to a few. 

 

 

 

 

We hit Bahama Bob's as we do every time we go to Gulf Shores.  We have precious video'd memories of Anna at 2 saying Shoo Fwy Shoo during meals on this porch.  She was disappointed there were not flies today to be able to reenact that moment.  We did have a new 2 year old with us though! ;)

 

 

The kiddos played at the beach and pool on their own again that day while Lasa napped.  Big kids rock!  The sun had somewhat peeked through the overcast sky by afternoon, so there were more people out and some decent enough warmth by then for them to romp in - like up to 75ish.  Glad for that.  Dinner was in the condo again - Spaghetti by the Sea! :)

And then it was time for beautiful sunset pics - as the sun set on our entire trip.  Cool air had quickly returned with the night and the sky put on a show for us.  Much appreciated. 

 

 

 

 

 

Me and Josh chillin' on the porch after the kids were in bed. 

Sunrise on Day 7 as we woke early, packed, and scooted out the door. So cool to see the moon up while the sun's light started to show. 

You were a wonderful place to land, SeaWind and Gulf Shores!  We must do this again soon.  Sooner than before!
