Vacation - Gulf Shore, Alabama

For our vacation this year we decided to borrow Brian's aunt's beach house in Gulf Shores Alabama. It took us 2 days to drive there, but we finally made it in the evening of the 2nd day (we didn't leave Lincoln until 1:00 on Saturday the 21st so Grace could go to dance class).



 Beach selfie!


 The beach house! 

Visiting Fort Morgan, which is just a few miles from the beach house!



 We hit the beach every day we were there, we all got really sunburned and had sand everywhere but these Nebraska kids sure loved the fun in the sun!






One of their favorite things we did was go zip lining. It was a little expensive, but totally worth it for them! They went between 6 towers and it took almost 2 hours. The best part they would say was the race at the end!












One day we took a boat ride to see dolphins. Unfortunately, there weren't many dolphins to see, but the boat ride was fun!








 Our last day in Alabama, Thursday May 26! We hopped a ferry to cross Mobile Bay to get to the other side and heat west to New Orleans. I thought the ferry ride was fun, I'd never been on one before!


It only took a few hours to drive to New Orleans. We ate lunch in the car then spent the afternoon at the WWII museum in New Orleans. What a huge place! Tons of cool artifacts from WWII. After that, we checked into our hotel and walked a few blocks to a cool restaurant in New Orleans called Mothers. It was po' boys, gumbo, jumbalaya and grits for dinner for us! Yum!
