Beach Vacation Day 1 & 2
I look forward to the month of June so much each year because once the calendar page flips from May to June it means our annual vacation to the beach is fast approaching.
So this year was a little different. We didn't get the house we normally have stayed in the past years. We did find one for a little bit more & just two streets past the old one. It worked out for the best. More comfy furniture, & a couple lots closer to the beach. WAY better views of the ocean than the other house also. Downside was it was smaller & the second bathroom was downstairs by parking but it all worked out.
It rented Sun to Sun unlike the Sat to Sat we were used to, however traffic was much better going & coming so that all was great too.

Day 1 (Sun)
Drove down & stopped at Chocolate Corner for ice cream to wait for the 4pm check in. Radar was showing rain from Tropical Storm Debby, however we lucked out & didn't get one drop & had beautiful sun all week long. We did however have high surf which led to double red flags (no swimming in ocean because of rip currents). A swimmer did go missing in Oranage Beach because him & his son got caught in a rip current. Last I heard they still hadn't found his body. We ended the day digging out splinters from Logan's hand (bad wood on the decks) & with beautiful sunsets.

Day 2 (Mon)
Still have high surf & double red flags. Enjoyed a local restaurant called Shrimp Basket that has all you can eat specials. The group enjoyed fish while Logan & I had chicken strips. Stopped by Walmart on the way home to do our grocery shopping. Chris, Retha, & I were sitting on the front deck & he saw a fox go by our house. Never have we seen anything like that before down there.
