day 5, tuesday.

when we arrived at our hotel in orange beach, it was dark, so we didn't really know what to expect, as far as where our room was in relation to things...
this is what we found when we awoke on tuesday morning.
right outside our sliding door.
amazing.

and this is the view back toward our room, from the beach path.
our room is the one on the lower left, with the red blanket hanging on the railing.
it could not have been more perfect.
