Trip to the Shoals!

A couple weekends ago, we were gonna take a last minute beach trip. However, we could not find ANYTHING that was decent and available. We still had an itch to travel, so we opted for a weekend getaway to the Marriott at the Shoals. (Random, I know) It is one of the top rated Marriott's in country. Everyone that works there was sooo nice. We've stayed at a lot fancier hotels, but this hotel wins the prize for best service. 
This area had soo many parks. I was pleasantly surprised. The parks were super clean and nice. 





We even found a park that was pretty much a kids dream. It had a train, roller coaster, carousal, jump house, playground, and lake with tons of geese!!




We also visited Helen Keller's house. I'm kinda becoming a history buff! I love stuff like that. It's just soo interesting to me how they lived way back when.


If you have a chance to visit this house, do it! They have her dresses, toys, writing, braille books, etc. all from when she was young.
The hotel had a really nice pool which was a plus.



Obviously, we had a great time and there was plenty to do for a weekend trip! I was pleasantly surprised. I love taking these little trips with my family. I hope the kids will remember all the fun we have.
Here are a few more of my favorite pics of the trip...








And those kids, my friends, are my world. Love them soooo much!!!

We've stayed there before and that hotel is AWESOME! My husband ran a half marathon and it started and ended in the hotel parking lot so we stayed there for 2 nights. LOVED the pool! Great pics of the kids!
