Orange Beach!!!

We love Orange Beach. We have been going every fall with Chris's family for the last 4 or so years. It's far enough that you feel you are getting away, but close enough that it is less than a 4 hour drive. I decided this year that we needed to go with my family in the spring. I booked a condo at the Phoenix West, which is brand new. Beings it was 7 adults and my 2 kids, we needed a 4 bedroom. It also had 4 1/2 bathrooms, a nice open kitchen, and a wet bar with an ice maker, in addition to the ice maker in the kitchen fridge. Also, beings our unit was on the corner of the building, our balcony was huge, and every bedroom had a sliding glass door. No balcony for bedrooms, but enough that we could open them if we wanted. We had the place for a week. Chris, the kids and I were the only ones that stayed all 7 nights, the rest of the family stayed for 5.

We mostly vegged out at the condo, played on the beach, the pools, including a lazy river. There was also a nice gym that some of us visited. I only went once! Chris and Matt (Ashley's boyfriend) went golfing twice, Mom, Dad, Amanda and I went to the outlet mall in Foley, we all went to LuLu's for dinner, and Chris and I took the kids to The Track, a place similar to Celebration Station.

I hate that I can only post about 5 pictures; there are so many good ones.
Steven loved playing in the sand and being in the pool. Anya was OK with the sand, and only liked the pools if she was in her turtle floaty. They both loved the condo. I had bought Anya a kid sized air mattress, which she loved. It was her "special bed." Steven liked to use it as a trampoline!
I am counting the days until I can go back!!
