As you can tell from the pictures, we had an absolute blast at the beach!  Martin enjoyed himself so very much.  He wasn't real sure about the waves or the sand, but he LOVED swimming in the big pool, and splashing in his blow up pool on the beach.  He took a nap everyday on the beach in someone's arms and was such a good boy on the trip.  I was scared to death about driving that far in the car with an eight month old, but he did AMAZING!!!  He went to dinner with us every night, and no one missed a meal.  Actually the night we went to Back Porch we got seated in "kiddie corner" we called it.  There were two other BIG parties in there.  One was a group of 4 women with about 10 kids, and the other an even bigger group with probably 8 adults and 12 or so kids.  The second bunch was a nightmare....the adults just as bad as the kids. So, needless to say, Martin was the best kid in the room.  He did great in his high chair eating his puffs.  We had a great trip, and look forward to going back to the beach at the end of the month.  We are going to Fort Morgan, AL with my family (Gulf Shores area).  I cannot wait to get some fried cheesecake from King Neptune's and some stuffed shrimp from The Original Oyster House.  I am no longer afraid of the trip in the car....Martin does great!  Hope everyone has a great week.
