I *heart* Faces: The Vacation Edition (Gulf Shores)



As summer is upon us, we are at a crossroads in our house as to what to do for summer vacation. This year, finances must be taken in to consideration as mommy is no longer working outside of the home. Some of us want to go to the beach (ME) and an invitation has been extended by family in Florida; while others (DADDY) want to go to the mountains. I have to admit the Rockies are much closer to Kansas then the Gulf of Mexico! Regardless of what we decide to do, we are bound to make summer memories that last a lifetime.

For the past four years, we have vacationed down at Gulf Shores, AL. Probably the closest stretch of gulf/oceanfront property to Kansas City. We regularly rent our condo from the same sweet couple and have begun to think of them as friends. The majority of these photos were captured on the beach! Enjoy.

Yep, there's a baby hidden on that luggage cart! Sign should read, "Have Toddler... Will Bring Potty Chair".

  4. I would so go to the ocean. I love vacationing on the beach. There is something about walking in the sand and getting pics of the kids on the beach/ocean.

    It is hard to believe the kiddos grow so fast, looking at the pics. It seems like they just looked like that.

  5. Ah, the joys of traveling with children. You have to cart everything but the kitchen sink and sometimes you wish you had brought that! I hope you have lots of fun and make wonderful memories wherever you choose to go.
