Beach Vacation - Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, AL!

I cannot believe that I am just now posting about our trip to Gulf Shores, AL! We decided a couple weeks ago to book a last minute vacation to the beach. We usually go to Destin every summer but everything there was full so we decided to stay in Orange Beach. We thought Gulf Shores/Orange Beach was a lot like Destin!

Alabama is about a 9-10 hour drive from Houston so we stayed the first night in Biloxi Mississippi. We love Biloxi but we had NO LUCK this time! We stayed at the Hard Rock Casino. I was really hoping to come back rich! : )



The next morning we arrived in Orange Beach. The white sand and clear water is gorgeous. During the day we mostly just laid out by the beach and at night went out to eat/listened to live music. We went to this one bar called Florabama that was on the Florida/Alabama state line. It was a pretty fun place!







Balcony View!

We had a fun trip! I already wish I was back on the beach! This is going to be a really busy week because I'm moving from my college apartment/starting a new job! I will do another post on that later!

Hope y'all had a great weekend!
