Ahh...the beach...we needed this

It has been a stressful couple of weeks around the Rapp household, so our beach weekend could not have come at a better time for us. We went to Gulf Shores again, but one of these days we need to try someplace else  (like Rosemary Beach, Destin, FL, etc.) as they are just a little further down the road.  We took Savannah out of school at lunchtime and hit the road. The minute we checked into the hotel (which Savannah told us smelled like "crab poop", and I have to agree with her), we hit the beach.
