Leaving at 4:30 AM on Saturday morning was a good idea and quite frankly I did not think it would happen considering we were still packing at midnight. Much to my surprise we hit the road at 4:28AM headed to Gulf Shores. After 10 hours of highway and a few quick stops along the way we arrived in Gulf Shores very tired and hoping to not find what we were afraid of.
Pulling off our shoes and doing the funny walk across the hot sand we seen what we feared. After catching our breath one loan beach lover looked up at us and said “it arrived yesterday”.
We are here to stay. We discovered that you can back up a bit from the surf and it is as if it is not there. You can hear the surf, feel the sun and smell the breeze. However you can’t escape the dropped chins of the beach walkers as they go back and forth. Our idle conversations are like this: “Well, I guess we will make the best of It.”, “What else are we going to do”, “Just terrible.”
Shelling peas was an exciting part of our afternoon. I guess the kids are “making the best of it” as well. We may discover that vacations are not about a destination but more about rest (Sabbath).

Wow! The Hamm's not only left on time, but 2 minutes early. I am very impressed. I hope y'all have a good time, despite the obvious. I know that y'all will definately "make the best of it".
