Breakfast this morning was good as always. Ham and cheese omelet, fried potatoes and toast. After sipping some coffee Marlon and I tried out the stream room. Wow I loved it, so relaxing.
Went back to condo and decided to get ready for today's adventures. Sitting on the lanai drinking some coffee listening to the ocean and watching some beach walkers. Marlon snapped a few pics of me while we were out there.
We went back in sat down and ate our salad for lunch. Gathered our gifts for Leonard and Carol and headed to car. Decided to go to Fort Morgan. This place has really populated in 3 years. Lots of land for sale and lots of new places along the coast.
Stopped out at the ferry landing and took some pics of a couple of ships and an oil rig. Se a telescope so I looked e the It to get a good look at the ships out in the ocean.
Right after we left the ferry landing we stopped and took some pictures of what is left of the Fort Morgan fort. Since 1834 Fort Morgan stood as the guardian of Mobile Bay.
We left and have pulled off again to travel down this gravel road. Took a few pictures of the landscape scape and vegetation.
One more stop before going into town, I want to get a picture of this huge tree covered with moss. The size of it just amazes me.
In town now and need eggs for morning. When Marlon went in to get eggs I picked up anniversary card from dash. Right away I saw that the gift card was no longer there. Panic attack oh NO frantic at this point. The gift card was just purchased last night. Marlon was back now and I told him the card was missing. He started the car and started driving. He decided to stop again and both of get out and search the car. Which we did and came up with nothing. Heading back out to the condo to look, we searched the parking lot, contacted management of building to see if anyone had turned it in. I knew that would be a miracle and just as I thought NO. Called security next , again NO card has been turned in. I called Mickey' s restaurant and told them what happened. No one was there that could say if they could give us another card. I mean we do have the receipt with the card number on it. If someone uses it they will know it's not there's. Hopefully I get a good phone call and this works out. Arrived at Leonard and Carols and gave them the wine in which I put in a gold wine box. Handed them the card and told them about losing the $50 gift card. Thurman and Karen were there when we arrived it was so nice to see them again.
On our way to Pensacola Florida restaurant named McGuire s Pub.
The place was packed. I got a drink while we waited for 1/2 hour to be seated.
It was served in a Mason jar and was called Irish Wake the liquid inside was GREEN. The drink consisted of fresh squeezed orange juice with 2 different kinds of rum. My good friend Carol helped me drink it. :-)
The restaurant's decor was an Irish theme. The minute you walked in you can't help but notice the entire ceiling was covered with one million signed dollar bills.
We were promptly seated in 1/2 hour Carol was given 2 glasses of champagne to celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary compliments of the restaurant.
Dinner was served and it was so good.
All of us took 1/2 our food home. Feeling pretty full. On our back to Carols. Visited for a short time and then left to go back to condo.
Fireworks were being shot off at midnight over the ocean and we had a wonderful view.
Happy New Years........friends.
