This Ain't Sea World, This is Real as it Gets!

CCN Nurses Go Coastal 2010

THE PLACE:

A cozy little condo in Gulf Shores.



We immediately fell in love with the condo when we saw this huge fan hanging on the wall with push pins. I mean...why not?! For the remainder of the trip, we refered to it as "The Perfect Fan".



The condo also had some great views. Here is a view of the beach from our balcony.



And here is a view of the pool from our balcony, complete with two old geezers wading in it.



THE PEOPLE:

Steph A. (aka "Blondie")



Steph G. (aka "Other Steph")



Megan (aka "Luna")



Beverly (aka "Bev", "Beaverly")



And, of course, me.



I really enjoyed getting to lay on the beach and enjoy its beauty. The beach was absolutely beautiful--no oil in sight, and the water was super clear.



One of the highlights of the trip was being on a boat...like Leo. A kind sailor gentleman saw the importance of having a photo shoot on a boat, so he allowed us to jump on his boat for a quick photo shoot. Before getting on the boat, we knew it was important to ensure our safety while on the boat. Never mind the fact that we never left the dock...



Here are the pictures of us on the boat, which was appropriately named "Scandal".





We all had a blast on our beach trip. Here are some shots to prove it.







And of course, we got our annual toes picture.



Another CCN beach trip tradition is for us to have a photo shoot on the beach on the last evening of our trip. For this task, we recruited Beverly's friend, David, to be our photographer. As luck would have it, David has a degree in photography, so we were quite pleased with the quality of the photos.







Because these pictures were so good, a little creative editing was done to make the pictures even more awesome. Thanks Beverly and Ali!





Because we are super cheesy and consider ourselves a CCN family, we decided that we needed some pics of us walking down the beach holding hands.





And now, I present to you the 2010 CCN Nurses Christmas card:



What a great beach trip! Looking forward to CCN Beach Trip 2011!
