Morning Mr. Sunshine I can see you trying to peak out from the fog!!
This morning BP Crews were out cleaning the beach area. There are still tar balls on the beach but not much. The equipment and crew were very busy getting the last of the tar that has come on shore.
As we walked back to the condo the crew was done with cleaning this section of the beach. The beach is so quiet love how I feel like we own the beach. :-) We seen a bird who I think stood still so we could take his picture.
After the walk on the beach its time for breakfast. Marlon made us a great breakfast. Fried potatoes and omelets........he just makes the best breakfast.
After breakfast we got ready and decided to take a ride towards Fort Morgan. As we drove it wasn't long before we had arrived at Fort Morgan.
We got out drove through and parked at a lot that over looked the Mobile Bay Ferry Landing.
Out in the bay we could see a drilling oil rig in full operation. Amazing how close to shore the rig was.
Marlon and I read a sign about the history of Fort Morgan which along time ago made torpedoes. The pictures of torpedoes made from barrels was totally amazing.
Took a few pictures of some of the places the army would be at in time of war shooting canons and guns to protect Fort Morgan.
The drive back to the condo we enjoyed the scenery. I love the way the homes along the beach are so colorful.
This area had lots of sand that was blown up onto the roads. We were going down through here to look for a place to maybe take the grandkids and their parents for a vacation. This is not the area we would chose I like the location the condo is in we are staying here at. :-) Wrote down a few names and phone numbers for rental information.
We then drove into Gulf Shores town and drove along the waterway. I wanted to see the tug boats pushing cargo down the river.
Marlon found something but I don't know what it is?
He showed me a pine cone, wow its big.
On the way back to the condo we found a Walmart where we went in and I shopped. It's time to get back to the condo and rest before it's time to get ready for dinner at Leonard and Carol's house. :-)
Once we arrived at their house we had brought a bottle of champagne. Marlon opened it and poured us all a glass and we toasted our friendship.
Had a wonderful dinner and a great banana split cheesecake. Thanks for inviting us over we had a wonderful time. See ya tomorrow at 10:30am.
Thanks for the great pictures. We are enjoying having you visit us. Hope you are enjoying your stay in Paradise.
