MOM-cation

This past weekend, my mom, sister, and I headed to Orange Beach, AL for some quality time away from our kiddos. We left Thursday morning and didn't get back until Sunday afternoon. It was nice to be able to lay on the beach, swim in the pool, and read whenever I wanted! We did some shopping, lots of eating, and went to see a movie (The Help - so good!). My favorite part of the whole trip actually happened about an hour out of the beach. On Friday, we drove to Fairhope, AL. It is a quaint little town with all sorts of cute shops. We probably could have spent all weekend there if we had known what it was going to be like. The picture is of me in the "French Quarter" in downtown Fairhope. Such a neat place! As we were leaving, we drove by the pier to have a look. While we were there, some people were throwing nets out in the water. At first we thought they were fishermen, but then this lady with her child showed up and started doing it. They were catching shrimp and putting it in a bucket. We jumped out to get a look and almost stepped on several crabs as they were scurrying about. It was so weird to just see these people walk up and fish like that! Definitely not something you see in Auburn! It was a good weekend, but I was ready to be home to see Matt and Cooper. Matt did such an awesome job taking care of Cooper. It is not easy doing it all by yourself without any relief. He is the BEST!!
