We made a VERY unexpected trip. Our kids had things to do and we decided that we needed some time together. Sooooo at 10:30 on Saturday morning that we would head to the Gulf Coast. We ended up at Maderia Beach.We did not even have anywhere to stay...which is unlike me but it was FUN. We just walked around and found somewhere that we liked. It was the Barefoot Resort. It was perfect for us. It was in walking distance of the shops and resturants. John use to go there with his grandparents when he was little. His best memory was looking for sand dollars. As you can see, we found a few.
The gorgeous sunset...
I love this one with John.
I loved John's statement when I sat down as the sun disappeared..."If you don't believe in God after watching that....you're crazy!!!" I would have to agree. If you have never watched the sun sink into the horizon on a clear afternoon..that should be on your list.
The shoreline that we walked each day..
Our footprints in the sand... 
The drivers there are so crazy that you are suppose to carry a flag when you cross the street..SO THEY CAN SEE YOU BETTER!! Anyways, it is a law that they must stop at the crosswalks.That cracked us up each time we saw it. All we could think about was the kids and how they would act with those flags... We just wanted to share..
Below is the motel that John stayed at with his family over 25 years ago. We walked around the property and took some shots. He said it seemed smaller than he remembers :) Time has a way of doing that.
Hopefully, his Mema will find a picture of him at this same seawall--if so I will scan it in.:)
