Brad and I celebrated our four year anniversary this past weekend! Our actual anniversary was on Thursday, then on Friday we left (without the baby!) for the beach for the weekend! #99 on my 101 in 1001 list is to take a road trip with my hunny! Check!
There are a TON of geocaches in Gulf Shores along the state park trails so we mapped out our route and put in a lot of preparation before we went. Losers, I know!
We decided we were going to bike the trails. We already had one bike at the beach house, so early Saturday morning, we went and bought another one. We got about 1.5 miles into the trail (in the BLAZING 103 degree heat!) and my bike BROKE. Like completely wouldn’t pedal anymore. So we had to WALK the 1.5 miles back out and to the car. We had to return that bike, buy a new one and then pedal BACK where we left off!
We found an air conditioned bathroom so we happily cooled off and had lunch!
About halfway through caching at around 2pm, I decided that I was DONE and it was just too hot. But we were about 3 miles away from the car. So we had to pedal allllllllll the way back and I literally didn’t know if I would pass out, throw up or die first. But thankfully, we made it back. We biked about 8 miles total.
BUT with all that caching, I finally reached my goal of finding 50 caches with Brad so I’m checking #95 off my 101 in 1001 list!
Besides geocaching, we stuffed our faces. I gained three pounds. No joke. We tried a new restaurant called Flippers and Brad and I both tasted some fried oysters and a crab cake. One word? NASTY! :) And we went to the movies to see The Lucky One.
We had such a fun weekend but I was SO glad to see this little face when we got home!

Happy Anniversary!
It sounds like a great trip! And, geocaching sounds fun...I'm thinking the hubs and I should try that sometime.
