Sorry, late vacation update...

On our first night out to eat we had a horrible waitress... she messed up all of our drinks and when she was taking our food order she kept repeating the wrong item back... Like Zach's dad ordered hamburger steak and she said "ok you want the jumbo gulf shrimp". Well we sat there and sat there and then she came by the table and said that they were plating our food and it should be out soon... well 30 minutes later we still didn't have our food so Mr. Larry went and found the manager and he went back to the kitchen and he came out to our table and told us that she had not even submitted our order but he just did and he promised to have it out in 15 minutes and that he was paying for everything... cool free meal! Not so cool when we got our food and everything was wrong because our crazy waitress had written everything down wrong. Like there were two kids chicken finger plates, we didn't have any kids with us! Anyways, not a way to start off our vacation.

Other than that the vacation was fabulous! We sat on the beach everyday and did nothing. Well Zach fished everyday and cought some fish... Most days we sat on the beach until the sun went down.

We ate in most of the time but we ate out a couple of other nights... it was great! We didn't have to worry about getting dressed to go out to eat and wait forever for a table...

I will post some pictures when I get home.

Yes I sat on the beach everyday and I sat out there all day. I kept my sunscreen reapplied and I sat under the umbrella all day... And I didn't get the first bit of sun... go me!

Anyways, I have to go for now! Have a great day!

Sorry...

I have been super busy since we got home on Sunday. I will try to sit down and write about the rest of our vacation soon.

Hope everyone is well!

Self Family Beach Vacation - Day One June 14

We met in Fultondale at 7:15. We met at Hardee’s for breakfast and then hit the road. While at Hardee’s though we saw Mr. Whitlow, a man that works at ACIPCO that I know. He was heading out to play golf and they stopped to eat also.

We actually left Fultondale about 8:00. It rained on us most of the way. We made our first stop in Greenville at the rest stop and you won’t believe it but I saw someone else that I know! Paula from work was there. She was on her way to Destin to see her husband’s dad. When we left the rest area it started storming on us! It was raining so hard, I was scared…

We had walkie-talkies in the car and we decided to come up with nicknames for everyone to pass the time. Everyone’s nicknames are as follows:

Larry – Gas Master
Kathy – Suzy Q
Patrick – Brownie Maker
Lee – Mr. Clean
Erika – Tooth Fairy
Zach – SquarePants
Kristen – Casper the Friendly Ghost
Vic – Shark Bait
Margaret – Sweet Tea
Katy – Pinky
Daniel – Croc

We got to Gulf Shores around 12:30 and checked in. We ate lunch at DeSoto’s (yum!) before making the 14 mile drive out to Fort Morgan to our house.

We are in now and have been to Wal-Mart to get some groceries. We can’t wait to get to the beach tomorrow!

Here are some pictures from the day! (pictures to come later because Blogger is being difficult)

My last post...

before I go to the beach.

We are leaving in the morning to head down to Gulf Shores for the week. I am going to try to find a place that is close to our house that will allow me to connect to the Internet. I will keep a daily "journal" on my computer and then post it when we get back if I can't find somewhere to post while we are there.

I have been up since a few minutes after 5. Zach's dad called and I haven't been able to go back to sleep! So I took my shower and now I am just waiting to leave.

Anyways, I am going to go get my stuff together and then I am going to finish getting dressed.

Have a great day! Talk to you when I get back if I am unable to connect down there!
