The Brown's Beach It 13'

We had our annual Brown family vacation to Orange Beach this year and we stayed at the Caribe with Dean and Jason and their families. My parents and Uncle LJ and Aunt Pat stayed at the Phoenix VII, this way we got the best of both worlds! We are starting to really love staying on the bay side but loved getting the chance to walk the beach and see the water.  We stayed for a week and this is what we did! (warning: picture overload)

The boys got to fish.

Saylor loved the shallow pools and water fountains, she was old enough to explore the water by herself and we are so glad she loves it and is not scared!

Her and Nanny got to hang out a lot :)

She was in charge of pushing all the elevator buttons.

My big brothers and I got to hang out with our families and watch our kids play, the most fun!

I got to wake up early with my early birds and watch the beach wake up, I loved it, really.

The beach across the road, we could watch all the boats coming out of the pass in the mornings.

Telling stories of when they started this beach trip 40 something years ago and they were "so fun" that some of their friends stopped coming :)
