Mothers Day Trip~Day 1

I booked a hotel room in Orange Beach Alabama as a girlie weekend.  A chance for some sun & sand for Mother's Day weekend.

Brooke Is growing up so fast and they will soon be moving 90 minutes away.  This trip was perfect to spend some alone time with them before the summer rush.

We packed our swimsuits, towels and a few clothes and hit the road, 2 1/2 hours later we were parking at our beachfront hotel.  I found a great price on trip advisor for a newly built Hampton Inn and it was fantastic!

We arrived 11:30 and was delighted to find our room cleaned and ready for early check-in.

After dropping off our things we walked across the street for a quick lunch at Subway.  We stopped at Publix for a few groceries and headed to the hotel pool.  I really liked the design of the pool.  Part of the pool is covered, really great for giving Paige an occasional break from the sun.

After enjoying the pool for a bit, we decided to get in some beach time.  I was amazed at how quickly Paige made friends with the other vacationing children.  It was fun watching her enjoying the beach surf, building sand castles and of course, collecting seashells.

After a full day of beach and pool, we were exhausted and headed back to the room to cleanup.  The girls were too tired to attempt a restaurant so we ordered from Pizza Hut.  DO NOT order from these people!! It took them over an hour to deliver a single pizza. 



After supper we walked along the beach during a picture perfect sunset.  Later we sat on the balcony drinking Hot Cocoa while listening to the lull of beach waves.

Thank you God for a wonderful Day!
