The Beach Blues

It appears that our summer plans will be changing due to the gulf coast oil spill. 

Since 2003 ( I think) my family has spent 1 week of the summer at The Beach Club in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We typically go the last week of July and stay for 7 nights and have the best time walking on the beach, collecting shells, going crabbing at night, swimming, laying out, sleeping in, golfing, eating at our favorite restaurants, and the list goes on.

And my personal favorite: the beach
Due to the devastation that this oil spill is causing, we are starting to look elsewhere for vacation plans. Since we will have little Jackson with us we are limited as to where we can go: no flying and no car travel over 12 hours. So now we are looking at Horseshoe Bay, Lake Travis, and even some places in Colorado. The must haves for our vacation place: at least 3 bedrooms, pool, golf, and other fun outdoor activities.

So, if y'all can throw any suggestions our way...we'd appreciate it!
