Our lovely little ladies were ready for a day full of shopping with their little purses ready! Poor SaySay!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0045\"<\/a> \"IMG_0047\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our first stop was the Alys Beach play ground!  We\u2019ve had several friends recommend this fun little spot, so we had to check it out!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0084\"<\/a> \"IMG_0106\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019d say it was a hit!  The girls loooved this funky play ground.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0117\"<\/a> \"IMG_0118\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our next stop was souvenir shopping in Seacrest Beach!  The Sweet Peddler candy shop was so colorful and fun!<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate picked out all my favorite candy.  She\u2019s so sweet! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_0140\"<\/a> \"IMG_0128\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_0158\"<\/a> \"IMG_0149\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think there is a candy on earth that they don\u2019t have! <\/p>\n

The snow cone stand was such a rip off in Seacrest!  $5 for a small snow cone.  If you\u2019re in the area and want a snow cone, wait to get it at Frost Bites in Seaside!  <\/p>\n

Gigi\u2019s toy store in Rosemary Beach is amazing, and they have a little house shop in Seacrest Beach for girls called Gigi\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7670\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"IMG_7675\"<\/a> \"IMG_2655\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mike tried this lobster roll for lunch.  He thought it was delicious!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_2658\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Eyelashes for dayz and an adoring father admiring his baby!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7682\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next stop, Rosemary Beach!  We\u2019ve been dying to explore this area of 30A ever since my mom visited and told us all about it!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7685\"<\/a> \"IMG_7690\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate and I checked everything out while the other girls fell asleep in the car on the way over.  First stop, Gigi\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7706\"<\/a> \"IMG_7710\"<\/a> \"IMG_7714\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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\u2019s!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7723\"<\/a> \"IMG_7717\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7727\"<\/a> \"IMG_7734\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We were all sugared out!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7773\"<\/a> \"IMG_7746\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Anna Kate couldn\u2019t wait to bring sissy back to Gigi\u2019s to show her everything and play!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7783\"<\/a> \"IMG_7792\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Headed back to the car for the last stop on our 30A tour\u2026<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7796\"<\/a> \"IMG_7804\"<\/a><\/p>\n

(first we had to look for my missing sunglasses at the play ground from this morning)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7815\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last stop, the food trucks in Seaside!  We could not wait to try all of the delicious food we\u2019ve heard so much about!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7836\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Picture taken by Noelle near The Melt Down waiting for her grilled cheese sandwich.  Beautiful!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7849\"<\/a> \"IMG_7853\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rose was just waking up from her long nap in the car and super hungry!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7809-001\"<\/a> \"IMG_7839\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle asked if she could take this picture of Mike and me.  She\u2019s always thinking about all of us and so so sweet! <\/p>\n

\"IMG_7862\"<\/a> \"IMG_7866\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s 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\u2019m so glad we got to eat here!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7869\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We got to hear a little bit of an outdoor concert on our way back to the car.  We would\u2019ve stayed longer, but we wanted to get back to our resort for fireworks.  This is what summer is all about!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7875\"<\/a> \"IMG_7889\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bye Seaside!  You were lovely!!!<\/p>\n
