Gone Fishin' & Other Beach-y Magic

Last week we took a quick trip to Orange Beach, Alabama, to hang out with the kids, enjoy some seafood and do a little fishing!

we cruised out from Orange Beach early-early 

onto the Gulf of Mexico for five hours of fishing.

Paul took this one of us at the pier: Eric, me, Daniel, Amalee
(who was the Queen of Fishing! She caught the first fish, the only one of us t
o catch 2 on 1 pole, and  she hauled in the biggest fish!)

Paul and me at the seashore

Boys are never too old to dig a big beach hole (and play in it!) 

Fish! Mostly white snapper and one lonely Spanish mackerel (we also caught red snapper and triggerfish but had to throw those back, since the season is over).
Deckhand Thad did a great job for us!

Sneak Peek of some lyrics from "Beach Trip" (it's a love song!):

"Anyway I'm still looking out into the night
Listening to music thinkin bout you while I write rhymes
I can see a bunch of people on the beach with flashlights
Looking for treasure, but I found mine"
