Gulf Shores in August


This time around, we stayed at Gulf Shores Plantation. It's a little slice of heaven just a short drive away.
We drove to Dauphin Island and took the ferry across Mobile Bay, which left only another 5 minute drive to our condo.
Gulf Shores Plantation is right on the Gulf, and has 6 outdoor pools and one indoor pool! A couple of the pools are only 1.5 feet deep, so Cassidy had a great time walking and playing in the water without us holding her the whole time!




Cassidy still isn't too fond of the sand, but she's doing better with it. She even played in the sand a bit, but stayed on her towel as much as possible.



Jeff and I did a 16 mile bike ride, including an stop for a quick, unplanned and uninvited swim in a neighborhood pool where no one was around.
(Without a towel, I spent the rest of the ride with unattractive water spots in unfortunate places- looking like I was simultaneously lactating and wetting my shorts... hmmm, I guess my punishment for swimming in someone elses pool.)


Another great family vacation!
