beach escape
	On our trip to Gulf Shores, Al we stayed at the Lighthouse Condo. We enjoyed the gulf front accomadations. We spent most of our days on the beach playing in the waves and white sand. We went to the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo also known as The Little Zoo that could that was featured on Animal Planet. We also drove the few minutes that it took to go into Florida where we visited the Naval Avaition Musuem. While we were there we climbed to the top of the Pensacola Lighthouse that was featured on the Travel Channel as being haunted. However, we did not see anything super natural the climb to the top was scary enough without ghosts. Our family enjoyed gulf front dining at Sea N Suds. It was located close to the Lighthouse where we stayed. We could clean the kids up and walk and have lunch. For breakfast we ate at Hazel's for the breakfast buffet. There was something there for even the picky eaters. Our Gulf Shores vacations had something for every one including the land lovers.
