Perdido Key 2011

We left Nashville at 6:08 Saturday morning, and made really good time, until I decided to take a shortcut about an hour out.  But I guess what's important is that we made it safely!  We have had a great first full day here. Poor Grace got burned really badly, and all of us have some degree of burns.  We have seen more ocean life here than we have on previous beach trips.  We have seen three stingrays (real ones!) and caught three starfish today.  The water has been a little murky, because the tide has been high.  But we have gotten plenty of shells.  The kids love to get on their boogie boards and ride the waves in.  I plan on getting up early in the morning and walking along the beach.  That is a great time for me to get some great pictures and hopefully find some "treasures" that might have washed up during the night.  I will share some pictures from today.
