The Perfect Weekend

Last weekend was absolute perfection.  When we looked at our calenders in the spring we realized the perfect storm was brewing: Macie's first birthday was on a Saturday, our Bulldogs were playing at Southern Alabama, AND Dad had just been asked to announce Southern Alabama's football games!  We knew a birthday on the beach was in our future!  Jeff was able to take a few days off of work and we headed south on Wednesday.  We met Sam and Sissy at Martinique, where we stayed for our trip.  It was wonderful to return to Martinique.  We stayed there with my family when we first started coming to the gulf and this is where we fell in love.  And this place made my parents decide to retire here!  It definitely holds a special place in our heart!
 
After two days of perfect pool time (way too many jellyfish at the beach to swim), having our first shrimp boil at my parent's house and a little golf for the boys, we were ready for Saturday!  We had brunch on the beach (more on that later) and then drove to Mobile to cheer on the Dawgs.  Our weekend could not have been more perfect if we had special ordered it!

Phil made the BEST shrimp boil for dinner...Dad, did you take notes?
 This was amazing.  Mom found Grandma's wedding dress!  And of course Morgan wanted to promptly put it on...and twirl.  So special to see her in that dress.  And yes, Morgan was the closest one to actually fit in the dress!
 Go Dawgs!  It was so cool to get to hear Dad announce the game!  He did a great job and didn't even say Racers once!  What a professional!
