Memorial Day Weekend

Tuesday, May 26th, 2009 @ 11:52am

Just got back from a nice weekend down on the Gulf Coast. Didn’t think the weather was going to hold out, but it was actually quite nice beyond the first day as it didn’t rain at all on Sunday or Monday.

We got to go to the beach for a little bit, but the surf was very rough with two red flags being posted. We ended up spending most of our free day crabbing and shrimping right off the bay in Gulf Shores. Didn’t catch any shrimp, and the crabbing wasn’t that great either with only 3 crabs for the whole day. About the only thing Clint and I brought back of substance would probably be sunburn.

Unfortunately for me, this may be my only beach trip this year. In previous years, my dad’s company would have a week long conference down in Panama City and allow for families to come down as well. They apparently have cut this out this year, so no more family beach trip. I might consider going down to Pensacola and camping sometime, but I’ll have to wait and see what happens with other things this summer.
