Hi Everyone! This weekend I brought An Ember in the Ashes with me to Gulf Shores. It’s my first time there. I went with my family. We had a great time!
At 8:30AM Sunday 9/25/16, the beach was a little empty. The sand is soft and not yet hot from the sun. It was a nice walk!
I see so many fishes right on the shores of the beach. I really needed a net!! hehe..
I walked along the shores and feel the water.. it feels so great!
I don’t love walking in the sand around noon to 3pm.. it’s really hot and I feel my feet burns!
We stayed at Hampton Inn in Foley, AL and they offer free breakfast! I love complimentary breakfast! haha
I like walking through Tanger Outlet Mall in Foley, AL. This outlet mall is huge!
This Tanger Outlet Mall has a lot of benches with the shade at the top. I love sitting here reading my book and occasionally staring at the palm trees! I love the breeze! 🙂
This family owned restaurant is real fun to dine in. Servers walked around in their uniform and toss dinner rolls to you.. they also pass out additional food: fried okra, fried potatoes, black eye peas, etc.. I had Chicken Dumplings and it’s delicious!
My family and I went to the Gulf Shores beach Saturday and Sunday and we had a great time! It’s a great weekend trip.
I just love the sand! 🙂
I’m glad to be able to share with you all a few pictures from my weekend road trip. I realized it’s not a book review or a book tag, but you know I brought a book with me to read at the hotel 🙂
Hope your weekend was great!
xoxo,
Jasmine

I haven’t seen the beach in 15 years I think ;-). It’s also 100 km from here and always very crowded if the weather’s good, you can’t find parking place or a seat to eat or drink something so I like to avoid it then and the other days it just doesn’t feel as tempting.

Looks like you lived closer to the beach than me haha my family and I drove 257 km to visit the beach this past weekend but we stayed one night in a hotel before driving back so it was not too bad 😊 We go early Saturday and come back Sunday evening 😊

Ah but it wasn’t crowded at all and the weather was great I saw! Maybe next year I’ll go too, when I see your pictures I do crave to see that immense view of the sea again.

Don’t go during holidays, that’s when it’s most crowded. If you can get there early, less crowd too. Sunday morning I went to the beach at 8 in the morning, I able to find lots of parking 😊 Hope you get to go. It’s really is peaceful and feels great to walk along the shoreline 😊

Well it’s really nice. Our beaches are cold, rocky and there’s never really any good weather to actually go to the beach.

Haha well I guess the north west is nice but I live on the east coast. In the west it’s more farms and small towns but in Dublin there’s the city and suburbs. Maybe sometime. I don’t really take many pictures haha 🙂

Thanks! How do you refrain from adding books to TBR? I always add the moment I learn of a new book and then I push it up the list when I see many bloggers talk about it 😊

Haha, I know. For this semester I have a list of YA that I have to get to for a class (I’m working on my MLIS). Luckily, I got to pick most of the books, but I have to get through these 20 by November 28! I’m on the 6th book so far. 🙂 So for now, the books on my blog will be from that list. When winter break comes along, it’s on!

Thanks! I’m working on my master’s degree in library and information science. I want to be a teen librarian, so I’m taking “Young Adult Materials” right now. But I’d be reading these books at some point anyway, so this way I get credit for them! 😀

That’s really great! I didn’t know you can narrow down to teen librarian 🙂 That’s awesome that you can read books you love and get a degree in the mean time.
