our vacation (part 1)





...These are some images from our Alabama vacation. I'll show more tomorrow. The first 2 photos are of the beach. Noah and Rhett had a great time swimming (or letting the wave carry them) to shore. The rest of us (Seth's brother and his family were with us) picked up shells and played in the sand. Seth, the boys and I were standing in knee-deep water when Melissa yelled out, "Jellyfish!" We were out in a flash and that pretty much ended our trip to the beach.

Our hotel was across the street from the beach and we had a lovely view of the bay (the last photo). The boys posed on one of the docks for me and that is where I took the picture of the jellyfish. Apparently, they love warm water and that is the reason why they were there. Their presence fascinated all of us.

A little side note: I took such good precautions about us not getting sunburned (UV shirts, hats, lots of sunscreen, even swim goggles with UV protection that we left Alabama sunburn-less.

Then we go to Friona's Cheeseburger Festival on a overcast day and guess who got a nice little sunburn on her shoulders and back? Me.

Sigh.

Wait, Friona has a cheeseburger festival??

Cute pics! The jellyfish is fascinating. We didn't see any of those at the beach in NC, but our water is that same greenish-brown color. Wonder where you have to go to see blue ocean water?
