Caravaning to Dauphin Island

After a good night's rest in Memphis, we had the free breakfast that comes with the hotel.

Then we packed up our cars and caravaned out of town. 

 We took turns being the first in line.

 When we filled up with gas, we switched riders around.

Do you see Eli?

There was hardly any room for him!  He was squished between all the luggage.

 

 Before leaving that town, first things first...we would have to take a little detour.

 A church on Church Street.

We had to make a stop at Starbucks, of course!

After 6 hours on the road, we made a stop in Mobile to pick up our groceries.  Staci had suggested we order ahead and do a pickup rather than go inside for our groceries.  Saved us a lot of time!

Dauphin Island came into view!!

 

 I love these little colored cottages that greet us when we first arrive on the island!

We found our house for the week and parked our vehicles underneath it.

The kids were so anxious to head to the beach, but we first had to unpack the cars and put all the food away.   It didn't take long for the kids to change and hit the water!!

 

 We ate supper out on the deck.

more to come.....
