The entire Wemyss Family met up in Gulf Shores, Alabama for a week of fun in the sun. The weather was gorgeous, the condo was super nice, and the view couldn't be beat. We had a wonderful time with everyone and a little tan doesn't hurt either.
Austin was able to play with his cousins, Matthew, Addie, and Braden, which was fun to watch. The kids had a great time building sand castles, catching hermit crabs, and playing in the ocean and pool. The adults had a fun time as well getting to catch up, drinking some adult beverages, and enjoying meals by our own gourmet chef (Thanks Cookie!).
Before we headed back to Connecticut, we stayed the day and night in New Orleans and checked out the aquarium. Austin enjoyed himself, but was on a mission to see "Nemo". Thank goodness they had clownfish or I don't know what we would have done! We ended the trip with some awesome cajun food (I had been craving crawfish etouffee) and a small stroll through the French Quarter. We also had an awesome view from our hotel room of the Mississippi (Austin and Charlie spent lots of time watching the tankers and barges float down the river).
Austin was a trooper on both plane rides, but I have to say that I am glad that we won't be traveling again for awhile. Our adventure continued as Charlie's car wouldn't start when we returned to our pay lot. Thank goodness for my friend, Lisa (Thank you again, Lisa), who came and picked me up so that I could go and get my car and come back for Charlie, Austin, and our luggage. We were emotionally and physically spent by the time we finally got home, but all in all, we had a wonderful vacation!

Austin loved the ocean and absolutely loved the waves. Everytime he saw a wave approaching he would say "Oh no, oh no, oh no" and would then say "Wheeeee" as he floated over the wave.

Sounds like a fun vacation you guys had! The museum looks awesome!
Yay! I am always glad to hear that people enjoyed their stay in N.O. We just went to the Aquarium Sunday, so the places in those last pics are fresh in my mind. Your pictures are great! LOVE the cousin shot.
Fantastic pictures...and I am insanely jealous of all the fun you are having this summer!!! I have a pass for my family and guests if you want to meet up at the mystic aquarium at all.
