Over Spring Break this year, our closest friends took our annual trip to Orange Beach. We had so much fun tanning, eating, and talking on the trip, and wanted to share some highlights!
Of course, no trip to the beach would be complete without a stop at Buc-ee’s! We all got slushies, candied nuts, and sandwiches for the road, and on our way to the condo, we sang in the car and yapped away the hours.
The first full day, we decided to go shopping at the Tanger Outlets mall, about twenty minutes away from where we were staying. There, we shopped at stores such as H&M, American Eagle, and Francesca’s, and then ended the trip with some coffee from Starbucks before heading back to the condo to get ready for the beach.
Some of our favorite activities while on the beach were tanning while reading, and listening to music. We also had fun walking on the beach together each night and having the time of our lives just talking in the dark. We had fun sitting on the rocks about a ten-minute walk from our hotel, having long, deep conversations and growing closer as we enjoyed each other’s company.
We also had so much fun getting dressed up and eating out for dinner at different restaurants in the area. We ate at Coastal and Cobalt, two beachy restaurants on the water. At Coastal, almost everyone ordered the corn and crab bisque and enjoyed it very much. At Cobalt, a restaurant our group has now gone to multiple times on our trips, many of us ordered oysters to share, which were also fantastic and highly recommended. The girls also got ice cream together on the second night we were there at TCBY, where we sat outside and enjoyed our sweet treats at sunset.
On the morning of our last full day, we encountered an incident with our condo. It turned out we did not have it booked for Friday evening through Saturday morning, so we had to move condos, but luckily we were able to stay in the same complex. We thought that moving condos was funny and a sign from the universe that we should start packing and getting our things together. Overall, this is a very fun trip for our group and we are already planning it for next year!! (:
