Gulf Shores 2026

We had grand plans of meeting friends at the Beach again but it fell through for both of those other families. We decided to still enjoy some time at the ocean because family is first anyway and we love being with our family. First up, Ady's first set of dip nails just for vacation! 

We stayed overnight in New Orleans on the way over to the beach and always grab a delicious creole meal followed by our favorite dessert shop: Sucre! 

And then of course some beignets before we headed off to the condo! 

This is the third time we've stayed in this condo and it's wonderful! It's right on the water and fits our family of 5 perfectly. 

 

We enjoyed a dolphin cruise and got to hold some cool things in their live well...

We actually almost punted the trip due to a tropical storm but it was only the first day there that the double red flags were out. We also enjoyed dancing on the tables at The Hangout and eating some great seafood, searching for crabs at night, making smores, playing chess, reading, bodyboarding and digging a million trenches/holes!
