Road Trip to Alabama

For our last trip of the summer we drove to Gulf Shores, Alabama to meet up with Uncle Luke, Aunt Amanda, and Emma.

First stop along the way we stayed a night in New Orleans. We walked around a bit, enjoyed a nice dinner, devoured some tasty beignets, and then swam in the hotel pool.

After a fun night in New Orleans we headed East... but first a stop at Cracker Barrel:

Finally -- Gulf Shores!

Lots of great beach time, cousin time, and games at night.

The drive back to Austin was completed in one day. Total drive time from Gulf Shores to Austin = 12 hours.
