Fall Break 2021: First Days of Dauphin and Gulf Shores

When we woke up on Sunday we hadn't quite decided what we were going to do. Mom had invited us over to Gulf Shores to hang out with her friends, so we hopped on the ferry and headed that way!

We were treated to a beautiful sunrise that morning!



We picked about the most terrible day to ferry over. Super windy and it was cold.




Check out that hair!





After our ferry adventure, mom picked us up and we went to Fort Morgan which was right next door. 


One of the founders of the fort had a last name of Bowyer so the kids were excited to see our name!




We left the fort then met mom's friends for brunch at Brick and Spoon (fantastic!) then went back to their condo to swim and play at the beach. 






We found out right before mom was going to drive us back to the ferry that they were considering closing it down because of the high winds. Super thankful that didn't happen! The ride back over was much more pleasant since it was a lot warmer but we still had a lot of wind.






Monday morning we really decided to do nothing because the kids were worn out from our adventure the day before. Ike wanted to take a bath in the fancy whirlpool tub so he did that while Dave played video games. 




We hit the pool and the beach a little, but it wasn't super hot that day either. Thankful for one of the pools being heated!

Beautiful sunset that night.
