Beach Party…
Since we wanted to get an early start this morning, I got the toad hooked up last night, and everything else stowed away.
We pulled out of my relative’s RV park about 8 am and headed down I-65 toward Gulf Shores about 380 miles away.
I-65 is in good shape and it was a smooth trip.
Jan hasn’t driven at all this year so she decided she wanted to drive for awhile. So a little south of Montgomery she took over. She drove about 125 mile until right before we got off the Interstate. At that point we were a little over 55 miles from our park.
We pulled into the Gulf State RV Park about 3:30, got parked and set up.
Getting to our site we passed one of my favorite signs.
What exactly ‘aggravates’ a gator? I would prefer to know.
We’re back in our favorite area along the bayou.
And of course Mister had to start checking things out. I think he’s hoping to catch himself a gator.
More tomorrow…
Stars fell on Alabama…
Today is our last full day here in Athens, AL. Tomorrow we will head south about 380 miles to spend a few days at Gulf Shores, AL before heading back to Houston next Monday.
We started off by having lunch at Dub’s Burgers, a place that I use to eat at over 40 years ago, And it’s still great!
After lunch we took care of some errands, stopping off at Tractor Supply Store, U. G. White’s, a great old time hardware store in downtown Athens, and the Post Office.
Leaving there we drove by our old house here in Athens that we lived in starting in 1963 when we moved back from Colombia, South America. The house and the subdivision still look good.
About 4:30 pm we picked up Glee, Dave, and Joy and drove over to Huntsville to have dinner at Rosie’s Cantina, the same place where we ate lunch a couple of days ago.
And again we had a great time. Hopefully it won’t be another 40 years until we get together again.
More tomorrow…
