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)
