Our lovely little ladies were ready for a day full of shopping with their little purses ready! Poor SaySay!

Our first stop was the Alys Beach play ground!  We’ve had several friends recommend this fun little spot, so we had to check it out!

Our next stop was souvenir shopping in Seacrest Beach!  The Sweet Peddler candy shop was so colorful and fun!

I don’t think there is a candy on earth that they don’t have!

The snow cone stand was such a rip off in Seacrest!  $5 for a small snow cone.  If you’re in the area and want a snow cone, wait to get it at Frost Bites in Seaside!

Gigi’s toy store in Rosemary Beach is amazing, and they have a little house shop in Seacrest Beach for girls called Gigi’s STELLAR tweens.  We looooved it!  They even had this ongoing garland all the kids that come can tie on ribbons and when each strand is finished, they hang it from the chandelier inside.  So cool!

Next stop, Rosemary Beach!  We’ve been dying to explore this area of 30A ever since my mom visited and told us all about it!

Anna Kate and I checked everything out while the other girls fell asleep in the car on the way over.  First stop, Gigi’s toy store!  This toy store is everything you dream as a kid that a toy store would be!  The owner was so passionate about all of her products.  She excitedly took us all over the store showing us her favorite things.  I love that!

Anna Kate bought a sand dollar at a furniture store and ran into the cutest puppy ever!  She got her super cute flip flop necklace at Gigi’s!

After Anna Kate and I walked down to the beach and back up the famous Main Street of Rosemary Beach, Noelle joined us to check out The Sugar Shak!

We were all sugared out!

Anna Kate couldn’t wait to bring sissy back to Gigi’s to show her everything and play!

Headed back to the car for the last stop on our 30A tour…

Last stop, the food trucks in Seaside!  We could not wait to try all of the delicious food we’ve heard so much about!

Noelle asked if she could take this picture of Mike and me.  She’s always thinking about all of us and so so sweet!

Here’s the last of her grilled cheese on top of my bar-b-que sandwich which was amazing!!!  I also got tomato soup from The Melt Down, which made my mouth just water thinking about it.  Everything we ate at the food trucks was the best in its class!  I’m so glad we got to eat here!

We got to hear a little bit of an outdoor concert on our way back to the car.  We would’ve stayed longer, but we wanted to get back to our resort for fireworks.  This is what summer is all about!

Bye Seaside!  You were lovely!!!

Awesome way to end a super fun day along 30A!
