Austin and I decided to take a quick little family vacation for just the three of us to Point Clear, Al this week. I get a discount through RSA so we couldn't pass it up. We left on Tuesday and stayed in Foley for one night and went to Gulf Shores on Wednesday and spent the day at the 
beach. Lane LOVED the sand but was unsure of the ocean. He slowly warmed up to it, but only if you were holding him. Around 2, we left Gulf Shores and went to Point Clear (about 20 miles from gulf shores). It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! We arrived a little too early to check in, but were able to walk the resort and get familiar with the grounds. By the time we checked in to our room, we decided to go grab a bite to eat and head out to the beach area to watch the sunset. A man walking by offered to take our picture as a family. 
After the sunset, we walked over to the pool area and Lane familirized himself with the water. He was a ham. He loved it! On Thursday we mainly played at the pool all day and walked on the beach area that evening to watch the sunset and the storm roll in. On Friday morning before we left we went on a bicycle ride through the resort and down the road through part of Fairhope. That is such a neat little place! Point Clear is an AMAZING place with alot of history. On the golf course there is a confederate grave yard (which we did not know about until we were leaving) and every day at 3:45 a drummer line comes through to signal the time for the cannon to go off at 4:00. The cannon symbolizes the rembrance off all veterans and of the men that are still protecting our nation today. I hope that Austin and I will be able to make this place a tradition for us to visit at least once a year. Several of my coworkers have vistited here for many years and one has actually been going since she was a year old and now takes her family there every year before going to Orange Beach. I hope that we can make this our little family tradition. We had a wonderul trip and it was a nice little getaway for our little family! Attached are some pictures from our 
trip. Enjoy!
