Gulf Shores Vacation - house and pool

We just returned from a fun vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama for our "Dirty Thirty" trip. It was in celebration of turning 30 years old (we celebrated turning 25 years in St. Lucia with many of the same people five years ago). This year, we had 9 children 4 years old and younger...wow!  We chose Gulf Shores since it was a reasonable driving distance and the house we picked had 13 bedrooms all with their own bathrooms (this turned out to be a wonderful thing). It also had a private pool and was a few minute walk to the beach.  We spent most days swimming, at the beach, and hanging out together.

Here are pool and house photos:

there was a large shallow area that was perfect for the little ones (Savannah and Avie used it the most)
