Fairhope-Perdido-Sandestin Summer 2010

Our summers are never complete without our annual trip to the Alabama/Florida Gulf Coast. When I say Coast I mean Fairhope, Perdido and on to Sandestin for the Bar Convention. We always have a great time at The Grand and appreciate Lisa and McLean and their hospitality while we are down there. Their pools are so fun and it's a treat just to go indeed.

We went to watch fireworks during the 4th of July celebration on the grounds of The Grand Hotel. The weather was perfect!

We also went to see the fireworks show over Mobile Bay from Downtown Fairhope area.

Visiting with Mama and Rick back at Lisa and McLean's

From Fairhope we ventured to Perdido where Mama and Rick were staying at the condo and enjoyed some time on Rick's boat and at the beach. Honestly, the oil wasn't bad at all and it didn't change our plans in any way.

Is this legal?

No oil here! (That we could see!)

From Perdido we headed East to Sandestin to join Papa and Jane at the Mississippi Bar Convention. This has become a yearly tradition and we always have a wonderful time. We get to spend quality time with friends and family and we are blessed in each of those departments that's for sure.
