Well we were schedule to go to the beautiful, sandy beaches of Gulf Shores Alabama but have had to cancel due to the oil. It was sad and rather disappointing since we have been planning this for almost an entire year but the risk of being in the oil was not worth it. Far greater than our disruption of our vacation plans is the impact that it is having on people on the coast and their economy. Also the families of those who lost their lives in the explosion will be forever changed now. So I say all that to emphasize that while we are saddened that we will not be on the beach we know that there are much more important things going on than our vacation! We have rescheduled our trip now to Hot Springs, AR! We will now only be in the car for 3 1/2 hours. Definitely looking forward to the shorter time of driving since we will be undoubtably be listening to Drew ask 10,000 questions the entire way there! We are seriously thinking about giving him Benadryl or Dramamine to knock him out! In Hot Springs we will be able to go to a lake close by that has a beach and a playground for somewhat of a beach experience! We will also be spending a day at Magic Springs/Crystal Falls which is a water park and amusement park in one, Drew is VERY excited about that! So I think we will be having much fun even though we will not be doing what we had originally planned. There will be many pictures and maybe even some videos to share afterward!
Well now I must get back to work and preparing to be out next week! Until next time!
