Greg and I got back from our vacation last night. It was seriously awesome! We got to check out Fairope (which may be the cutest place on Earth) and then go play in Destin. We had a lot of very goofy, childish fun. And it was really nice to be alone together for a few days, with nothing to really distract us from one another. It wasn't like at home, where he'll be doing one thing, and I will be in a different part of the house doing another. We did everything together. We went to restaurants and actually ate there (instead of getting "To Go" and eating on our couch). We got boogie boards and played in the Gulf. We took a lot of naps (sunburns make you tired). I actually got a little tan...
And as for Fairhope, I would absolutely love living there. Almost everything is within walking distance; there are bookstores and restaurants and coffee shops. Mobile Bay is a 3 minute walk from "downtown." There is a really cute Irish pub (complete with Guinness on tap for Greg). I really loved the area. It seemed like a very laid-back, low-key kind of place. Lots to do outdoors, and only an hour and a half to Destin.
Now we just have to cross our fingers that Greg will be able to get a job down there at the hospital. Although if he doesn't, I am tempted to move there without him. ;)
