Looking back, having lunch each day at our condo overlooking the beach, was some of our favorite memories. Charly and Hayes loved settling in and relaxing and being able to look over our balcony and keep an eye on our beach chairs and umbrella and watch the beach and the pool made us feel connected to Orange Beach.
Charly and Hayes were more reluctant to return to the beach each day, unlike Kure Beach where they were begging to go back as soon as we left. Kelli and I believe it was the pool's fault. We did not have access to a pool in Kure. In Orange Beach we had to walk through a pretty nice swimming pool to get to our beach each day. That was torture for the kids! But once we were on the beach, all was forgotten and they had a blast! Plus, we stopped back and spent plenty of time in the pool too!
I still had to scope out our area in the afternoon and snag a number of jellyfish. Although a lady told us if we were to get stung, it wasn't as bad as we'd think. Still, we didn't want it to ruin the kids' day.
Charly became pretty good at tossing a frisbee!
Hayes did not catch on. But that didn't stop him from trying to impress the ladies!
We swam in the pool for a while then called it a day. We were excited about eating seafood and had a list of restaurants planned. The young couple we talked to at Moe's the night before suggested Shrimp Basket, which was on my list and an older couple we talked to on the beach also suggested it. They seemed to know what they were talking about. So we ate at Shrimp Basket. They were right! For the price, you won't find bigger portions or fresher seafood. It was awesome, but Hayes fell asleep at the table!
When we got back to the condo we walked the beach and took some family pictures. We try to do this each vacation and love to look back at them. Charly and Hayes were awesome!
Before the sun fully disappeared, Charly spotted a ghost crab! That girl has incredible eyes!
