Spring Break beach trip

After David's blessing, we drove down to the beach to spend a week with my family. I love the gulf beaches! It has such a different feel from Southern California beaches so it is hard to even compare the two. I feel like I get a beach trip and a cabin in the woods trip all in one. My dad even saw deer the first day at the beach house! We had so much fun riding bikes, rollerblading, playing soccer, eating, swimming, and hanging out at the (freezing!) beach.

I think the drive from Birmingham to the Gulf may be one of my favorite drives ever. I love driving through the small southern towns and this has got to be one of my favorite signs!

 
 
 
 
 
 
My dad makes THE BEST steak/salmon/hamburgers/pasta... we ate delicious food all week long and swallowed it down with Blue Bell Ice Cream... every single night! Now that's the way to live.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Can you guess who lead us in an organized warm up before our super intense soccer game? (Elizabeth, of course.)
 
 
 
It was so fun being all together for the first time in over two years! I kind of wish that Iowa was Arizona.
