Vaca Follow-Up

In following up with the "Hurricane Gustav" post, we arrived home safely that Tuesday afternoon after a relaxing 5 days in Orange Beach. We rarely take "vacations" where we can just plop our booties down and not think about where we need to go and who we need to see, so this was just what the doctor ordered.

Dude was in heaven from the minute we set foot in Mom and Marc's house. He slept like a dream in the basement (much to Marc's dismay that we left him down there alone), romped around the beach collecting shells, kicked around in the ocean trying to drink the saltwater, jumped into the pool (hoping someone would be there catch him), danced to the live band at Jimmy Buffet's sister's cool outdoor restaurant and definitely grew attached to Grandma and Grandpa Marc (when Marc wasn't chasing him around causing nervous squealing).

It needs to be noted that the food was a sampling of seafood heaven. Much time was spent in the kitchen working up masterpieces. The screened in deck overlooking the channel was our favorite spot to soak it all in. Thanks Mom and Marc for a fantabulous time! We'll look forward to doing it again. Marc, make sure the wildlife know to stay the heck away from me next time or I might just be too spooked to ever come back! No more sting rays under my feet, crabs munchin on my toes or water snakes visiting the dock! Tall order, but I know you can work it out.
