After a very hectic last couple of weeks it’s finally summer vacation! We are here near Mobile, Alabama visiting Kenneth where he is working. We arrived late Saturday night after a very quiet drive (Sarah watched some movies, read some books, and took a nap). Sunday we attempted to drive to Gulf Shores but were thwarted by heavy thunderstorms. Yesterday we scoped out the area and made a quick trip to Wal-Mart for some supplies.
Today we were able to meet Kenneth for lunch, and then we drove to Dauphin Island to go to the beach. Sarah seems to find a friend anywhere we go, and the beach was no exception! They played for a while in the water and the sand for a while until…Sarah found a blob of oil in the surf and thought it was chocolate. So she picked it up and got it all over her hands. Needless to say that is the end of the beach for us! It really was sad to see the beautiful beach and know that in a few days there will be oil everywhere. We’ll be sticking to the pool for now!
