The Taylor Family: Shoals Marriott Trip

We just got back from 4 nights at the Shoals Marriott in Florence, AL. I never thought I would go on vacation in Florence, AL! We went with Jason's sister's family and our friends, the Rings. The boys (Jason, Todd and Brock Currey, and Chris Ring) played tons of golf on the Robert Trent Jones Trail (the whole purpose of this trip) while we ladies and kids stayed at the resort pool. It had zero entry and a cool water slide. It was the biggest hotel pool I have ever seen. Jason's sister, Denise, and I got a massage and facial. The spa there is top rated. It was a great present from my hubby! Chase played in the pool and took a lot of naps so I was up in the room a good bit, but it was a great room so I didn't mind. We enjoyed some great local food and shopping, but mostly stayed at the hotel. Friday night, they showed a movie on a giant screen at the pool and had fireworks Saturday night. Down from the hotel was an awesome playground and sprinkler park. It is a great place for a weekend getaway or for a week's vacation!

Chase loved the pool. Since he can walk so well now, he thought he could just walk right into the pool. He discovered Sara Beth's Noodle and that was it! It was bigger than him so we had to cut it down to his size. He carried that thing all over. The pictures will tell the noodle story!
