We're home!

It was our pleasure Ladydebubba. It's always so nice to meet another member of our sowal family

Thanks Cork. I really had a great time. And Sunshine is the sweetest dog. Give her a pet for me. Maybe next time we are down I can meet some more people. I recall I thought Skunky mentioning Wild Olives one time. Was hoping I could meet him and Rapunzel also. Husband said if possible we might try to come back down in June. Hope we can.

Glad you are back, and it was nice meeting you also.
I am glad the weather was good for you while you were here. I am sure you enjoyed many walks on the beach. Ready to see some pics and hear about your mobile adventure...

No IBD, we never got to Triple J's unfortunately. Were going to get the blackened steak salad with crumbled blue cheese from Spicy Noodle but they were out of steak, and this at lunchtime. So we got nothing from either place. Maybe next time. Did have many enjoyable walks on the beach and many nights of deck sitting after dark. Have posted some pictures on the photo gallery. Will have more when I get the other developed. Will have some I have to scan.

Nice pics, Lady. Makes me think I might need to veer off I-10 someday and take a look. The Bird Sanctuary looks nice too!

Thanks DD. You can take the Mobile Ferry across to Ft. Morgan and back, it boards at the end of Dauphin Island. We were going to do that but there is a 1 1/2 to 3 hr. wait to board it. And once you are in line, you are stuck there parked. The bird sanctuary is nice. No charge. Tried scanning some of my developed photos and they streak at the top for some weird reason. It was just a boardwalk all the way through the place mostly, a few spots of sand path, with posted signs of certain birds seen but we didn't see many. But the beach was pretty from there. I care more for the beach side of things myself really, but it was nice through there.

Welcome back LadyD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks seagrovelover, sure hated to leave down there though. Could easily stay two weeks. Still tired, so the trip report as boring as it will be will have to wait until tomorrow. Will have the house to myself as my husband has to work tomorrow, 12 hours.

Nice pics. I have not been to Bellingrath in years. After seeing these I think I must make a trip....

Thanks IBD, I could kick myself for not having my husband drive farther south from Dauphin Island. 3 miles south of Dauphin Island is Sand Island Lighthouse out in the Mobile Bay. It takes a boat to get to but I may have been able to get a picture of it from the shore if it wasn't too far out by zooming in. But I don't know for sure if I could have. I had seen the sign advertising it down there but forgot about it. I am a lighthouse fanatic. I collect them.
