Date #2: Wedding + Walk in the Park

My handsome Wedding Date




This weekend Kaden & I headed to Mobile for my best friends wedding! We stayed with the sweet Peacock Family and enjoyed spending time with such a wonderful family.  We woke up Saturday morning with hopes of going to the beach for the day.  After scanning the radar, we decided to explore the city of Fairhope.  I've always read about this quaint little city in various Southern Living magazines, so I was thrilled.  With limited time, we drove through and adored all the boutiques & restaurants.  We drove to the Pier that overlooks the bay.  We walked the stretch as we saw many fishermen getting settled into their day.  On our list of August dates, this week was 

Take a walk and stop for ice cream wherever you may end up!

The walk on the pier was peaceful, breezy, and the restaurant in the middle smelled like fresh hushpuppies!  After spending time on our leisure walk, we were on the hunt for ice cream.  As we were on our way to our car to head into town, guess what was parked right in front of us?  A ice cream truck!!  Many memories of my childhood include running full speed down our huge hill in hopes of catching that ice cream truck.  Kaden and I shared a Jolly Rancher Bomb Pop--Every section was a Jolly Rancher flavor!

Behind the pier were gardens of rose bushes tucked behind a huge fountain!

We ended our day date at Wintzell's Oyster House where Kaden devoured oysters, and I half heartedly tried Fish Tacos for the first time.  We drove back through Historic Route 98 to Daphne (gorgeous)


Wedding

 Brody and I have been the best of friends ever since Kindergarten and his new wife Drew is precious! The wedding took place in a beautiful, center aisle church.  The celebration continued at The Ezell House where we were welcomed with a variety of savory food choices.  Kaden loves to dance, so of course we delighted in dancing the whole night.  For a brief moment, the skies seemed a little unsettling, but NO rain followed! It was a perfect evening to celebrate such a precious couple.  My Iphone camera is clearly not the best quality, but I found this picture via FB that snapped a cute moment of the newlyweds!

We had a fantastic weekend! On the ride home, we couldn't stop saying "THANK YOU JESUS" for such a beautiful weekend!!
