That's why the radiant sunshine yesterday morning, the final day of our trip, had us re-thinking when we would be leaving.
The owner of the property had already told us that we didn't have to be in a hurry to check out.
Despite that, I could feel the internal turmoil as I wanted to let everyone enjoy the morning while at the same time trying to figure out how we could do that and make it back home before midnight.
As I jumped in the shower to get my legs swimsuit ready, I kept repeating to myself what Ann Voskamp so often says on her blog: "Life is not an emergency."
I wanted to enjoy the sunshine. And I wanted to enjoy the moments that matter most.
She loves the water!
So we didn't rush.
We were the last ones to leave.
We enjoyed a final seafood meal on our way out of Gulf Shores.
And we made it home well before midnight.
