Vacation time...Perdido Key Beach

 We arrived at our Condo and the weather was beautiful. We were so excited to come to Perdido Key again this year.
 They love to build sandcastles. I believe some of them LIVE to come here and build a sandcastle. They changed it up almost every day this year.
 Ariel taking in some sun and floating in the Ocean. The water was quite different this year. It was more like a lake.....NO waves...We didn't see many stingrays this year, but MORE crabs than last and a new creature called a "Skate". It didn't have a stinger or barb, but would give you a little jolt if you touched him or stepped on him. Ariel was stung this year by a "jelly". There was days we saw quite a few of them and some days we didn't see any.

This is the beach side of our Condo. We stay
on the lower level, and just walk across the
boardwalk to the beach. It's awesome.

We went to the Naval Museum there also. This was a new hanger that was opened this year. If I remember correctly, this was the Helicopter than President Nixon rode on the last time.
 Ariel and me soaking up some rays on the beach. The water was beautiful, other than no waves this year. We did actually find some oil, from last years oil spill. We found clumps of it in the water. It's pretty gross.
We stopped off at the USS Alabama on our way home. Here is my nephew, Dustin, me, my SIL, Karen and Ariel setting in some seats on the battle ship. It was quite hot walking on this ship, but we all had a good time.
