January 16-17 - Gulf Shores State Park

Since we left a day earlier than we expected, we arrived a day earlier. Blue skies and sun, 60 degrees. Alabama is in the Central time zone which has Lenny all messed up for feeding times and bedtimes. 

Lew and Denise came over to greet us as we were setting up. Huge campground with 500 sites. 

We bought the “Clam” easy up to keep our bikes in when it rains. 

Friday, our first full day here dawned sunny and in the 60s so Lew took us on a walk on one of the many trails that are in our campground. 

Love the Palmetto trees 

Some of the longer term residents had trees decorated. 

This one has Mardi Gras beads hanging from it. 

It’s so nice that Bill and I decided to take the bike ride around and through the park. We wanted to see where Drew a d Erin will be staying- the Hilton Lodge, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. 

Still too nice of a day to stay inside so Lew took us on another bike ride to see if we would see an alligator. Yep, he found one for us. Hard to see but he or she is laying in the bushes. 


Back home at the RV so Bill can make smash burgers. 

Tomorrow we’ll spend some time with Drew and Erin. It’s supposed to rain so we are going to Pensacola to see where Erin’s grandparents lived. 

Night.
