After our not-so-ideal Auburn trip, we were nervous about heading down to Florida. Frank even mentioned changing our tickets and heading back to Dallas, but we had already paid for the hotel, and I was determined to get some relaxation out of this vacation, so we went ahead with our plans. Thankfully, during the scenic, back roads drive from Auburn to Watercolor, Frankie's entire attitude changed, and the rest of the vacation was wonderful. We stopped at a tiny cafe in Elba, Alabama to eat lunch and Frankie actually sat through an entire meal and ate his food! It was a small miracle. We absolutely loved our hotel in Watercolor. The room was huge, the view was awesome, and the staff was so friendly. We also really liked the beach, and really the whole area in general. The water is a gorgeous, clear, calm, blue-green color, and the beach is wide, white sand. The resort was perfect for families because it was connected to a beach club with a huge pool and had literally every amenity you could imagine. We were a short walk away from Seaside and we went there one night for dinner. There is a huge green square, and we let Frankie run wild with a bunch of other young kids after we ate. He was in pure heaven and he said "thank you" about 15 times on our walk back to the hotel. It was so sweet. Frankie loved the ocean and "swimming" in the pool, but he did not like the sand too much, especially when he was wet. We all got to spend a lot of sweet quality time together while we were there, and I even got to read a book and get a tan! On the plane ride home, our flight was delayed and a bunch of the passengers were transferred to another flight, so we had the plane almost all to ourselves. Thank goodness, because Frankie cried for almost the entire flight. It sucked, but I am so glad he saved his bad flight for when Frank was there to help me out!
