Beach Fun

We had a blast in Gulf Shores/Orange Beach this weekend. We stayed with friends in a five bedroom house off the main strip in Orange Beach. It was great having some "grown up" time for a change. We went out to eat Friday and Saturday nights. Friday we went to Guy Harvey Grill and Saturday we went to LuLu's. Saturday we went to the beach. With all the wind from Hurricane Ike I didn't realize I missed my arms with the sunscreen. Man do they hurt. Gabe surfed. We also saw Yancy Spencer from Innerlight. They were filming. Pretty cool. On Saturday night we played poker after dinner. That was fun.

Sunday morning was "dawn patrol". We met some guys from high school and Gabe surfed. I think he had more fun on this day then on Saturday when the waves were bigger. Being with "the crew" from high school made it an awesome morning.

Another Crazy Week

I'm learning that when you work two jobs, you don't have much time for yourself. I haven't been able to blog yet this week because on Monday and Wednesday I worked at my part-time job and Tuesday night was PTA Open House at Liberty's school. It's Thursday and I finally have some time to myself.

Hurricane Ike is going to make landfall in TX sometime Friday. He sure has the Gulf Coast in an uproar. Parts of the Alabama coast are experiencing flooding from unusual tide levels. My parents went to the Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores tonight to take beach pictures. They were pelted with sand and said that the tide had been up about 20 feet above normal. Crazy! Gabe just talked to a friend down there who said he had to help evacuate tourists from parts of Fort Morgan Road today. Here's a picture my dad took:

We are heading to Gulf Shores for the weekend. Gabe wants to surf and a friend has a condo. We'll stay with my parents. Hopefully we'll be able to hang at the beach some. I guess it depends on the wind.
