Road Trip

The boys and I took a super spontaneous trip to the beach with my sister and her two kiddos. We had a great time! The hotel was nice and our view way spectacular.  We were right across from the beach. The beach in Gulfport was very different from the beaches i've ever experienced. You could walk out a quarter of a mile and still only be in about waist high water. There were lots of sand bars among the water. This type of beach was PERFECT for the boys. They could run around in the ocean and not get knocked down by waves. They really enjoyed digging on the sand bars. We saw a dolphin on day two. He was between us and the shore and at first glance, he looked like a shark. I FREAKED out! The whole dolphin ordeal didn't phase the boys. Drew was actually napping on Linda when it happened. Later that same day, we watched tons of fish jumping out of the water all around us.  There were so many, we actually made a game out of who saw the most first. At one point, Becca and I kept getting bit by fish. It didn't hurt, but boy did it startle us. We got spooked and started running toward shore. This actually drew them to us and we got bit more. We both had red marks on our legs by the time we made it to shore. We never brought a camera to the beach...just took mental pictures. :) We did take some pictures before leaving today with the beach in the background.  I will post those soon. Nick and I will definitely be taking the boys back next year. :)
