BEACH!

Thomas and I have been talking about going to the beach forever now and when I saw that my favorite country singer Jason Aldean was coming to The Wharf at Orange Beach, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to go!
However, after I bought tickets and everything is when we heard about the big oil spill. I was pretty bummed that we wouldn't be able to go at least walking on the beach while we were there but we were staying at Perdido Beach Resort and we knew they had a great pool so we were going to make the most of it.
Driving in on Friday, we couldn't believe how many big boats we saw trying to help with the oil clean-up!


The sunset when we arrived was AMAZING!

We were so happy to be there!



Friday night we ate at Louisiana Lagniappe after it was suggested to us by Thomas' Aunt Meg. It was WONDERFUL! Thomas got the house special which we couldn't quite figure out what it was and I had crab cakes and shrimp and and twice baked potato! It was great ambiance and great food and great company :)
We then went back to the hotel and got ready and went to the FloraBama which was the first time for both of us! It was great! (definitely Thomas' kind of place!)
They had a great band; very much like Trotline but better because they played rock 'crowd-pleasers' as well as country. We had so much fun dancing!
Then we couldn't resist and went 'night swimming' when we got back!

Saturday we made the most of the only full day we had there and stuffed our faces with a delicious breakfast buffet at the hotel and headed out to the beach. There was NO sign of oil anywhere!!! I was amazed! The water was very clear and the beach looked perfectly clean. I think where we were had something to do with the cleanliness of the beach because we were so close to the bay!

Thomas' entertainment:


My entertainment:

There was no breeze which made it really hot so we only lasted down there for an hour or so before we headed back up to the pool (and about scorched our feet in the hot sand!) I wish I had a video of Thomas running as fast as he could with his cooler in hand!
The pool was great but we were definitely about the only ones there around our age group; it was mostly families but we didn't mind! We just had fun floating and trying the swing dance in the water to the band that was playing on the deck (not so easy!) :)

Later that afternoon we went back out on the beach for about an hour and swam. We saw a baby shark (I about had a heart attack), stingray and tons of hermit crabs on the large rocks that separated the bay. That was a time that I really wish I had a water-proof camera! I could have stayed out there till the sun set and I wish we could've but we had the concert that night!

We went to dinner at Rum Runners and then went to the concert!



Love me some Jason Aldean!

I am so thankful for having the next few weekends off for my birthday/July 4th and then Thomas and my 6th year anniversary! Can't wait!

American Idol Hollywood Auditions

I have a hard time following shows week to week because my work schedule is different every week but I'm really going to try to watch American Idol this year. I have 3 favorite contestants so far: Andrew Garcia, Haeley Vaughn, and Michael Lynche.

Andrew: Dad of a toddler son who has a sort of Jason Mraz feel. Very good voice and also very loveable.

Haeley: A 16 year old who has a country/pop feel. Very bubbly personality and you can't help but just love her.

Michael: A big teddy bear. He did his Hollywood auditions when his wife was in labor with their first child and did very well!


Here are their videos:
