PCC Here We Come! Sept 2011


It's that time of year!  Can't believe how quickly time flies.  The summer was here and gone. I'll upload the rest of the summer later, but wanted to at least get our trip to FL on here before we head back in November!

 Tropical Storm Lee was heading toward the coast as we were getting to Perdido Key. The usual tranquil Gulf was rough and windy. It was beautiful to see, though!  This is the view from our balcony.
 The tide was coming in, but the condo next door didn't even bring their chairs in. They were still there the next day. I was surprised.
 The "kids" spent the night with us at the condo on Sat night, then checked into PCC Sunday afternoon.  Afterwards we all went out for lunch.
 Chrissy and Amber being silly.

 Theron & me
 TJ, Joey, Johnny, Chrissy and I went down to the beach when we got done with lunch.
 We waited for the weather to be clear (between squalls), but the ocean was still churned up.
 Me & Lee on Perdido Key   :)
 I think that is TJ.  The boys played ball and Chrissy and I took a walk.
 The waves and swells were HUGE!  Awesome show of God's power.
 A pretty bird braving the storm.
 Love those waves!
 A random branch stuck in the sand. 
 My three sons and one daughter.  :)
 Not sure what Johnny was doing, but they were all acting crazy! 
 Another squall heading our way...time to go inside!
 Here it comes!

 Monday night Theron and I headed to The Oyster House in Alabama for a date night.
 Holding the camera for a quick photo.  We look funny close up. LOL
 Sunrise on our way to breakfast with the kids to say goodbye.
 We met Chrissy and TJ at Steak N Shake to eat breakfast before heading to Sarasota for Dad's 82nd birthday.
 My kids and me before Theron and I left.
 The view from our condo. Much calmer!
 I had to take one more walk down the beach before leaving.
 The birds were enjoying the nicer weather.  The waves were still bigger than normal, but much smaller than they had been all weekend.

 Yep, still a bit rough for the normally tranquil Gulf shore.
Bye Perdido Key!  See you in November!!
