A voyage to the shore (Sept 2007)

Derek's Mom & Dad, sister Andrea and her fiancee Chris, and the three of us rented a great condo in Gulf Shores, Alabama. It was Ella's first time seeing the ocean, and a truly amazing week.



Our condo had a pool that was zero entry, and only went to about 3 feet. We all had fun playing alligator with her and hanging out in the sun.






Of course we found playgrounds and fun places to eat. Ella loves music and found a windchime display at one of the gift shops we visited. She told me, "I can heah da music fwom all awound, mommy!!"








Some of the best moments were just hanging out with no schedule or agenda. In the last shot, Ella is tossing all her collected seashells back to the beach with Grandpa "so they can be with their mommies." We are already saving up for a chance to go back.
