... I was still pretty exhausted and didn't have my head in the game the way I should have. I am sure that I will learn to stay closer to my camera in future ventures so I don't lose the memories of what makes all this travel so great.<br>

... to the 2-foot track, train enthusiasts have laid about 1/2 mile of seven inch track and the train that runs on it can also take passengers! Both tracks feature steam engines which are used when demand is strong enough to justify 'steaming up'. Otherwise the larger track has a diesel engine that they use. Wales West is a great park with excellent facilities and a friendly atmosphere. This area has a lot of things to see and do. Hope we find our way back!

... than the ones in Florida. The landscape and vegetation are significantly different from that we have been traveling through to this point. Live oak trees and magnolias now became dominant, replacing the pines and palmetto of the Florida landscape. Anticipating that if we continued on we would be traveling through Mobile at evening rush hour we decided to find a place to stay just east of the city. In mapping out our ...

... Thank goodness too that they have a state park. I swear if it wasnt for that, there truly would be nothing but condos along the coast! After a beach stroll, we drove off to Foley and happend upon Lamberts Cafe- famous for 'throwed rolls'. Get this deal: I ask for carry out rolls- they only sell them by 1/2 dozen. (ok i think, ive seen this scam before- whadya want? $2/roll, min of 6 rolls?.......NO!!! 1/2 dozen= $2.97!!!!) Im in heaven. Not ...

... Sometimes you just need to look in your backyard! After a fine afternoon floating around we packed it in and went home. Dinner was marked by my first ever consumption of oysters, hand shucked out in the backyard, fresh as could be. They were great! The next day was a bit more low-key. The first thing that happened was breakfast. Eggs in a hole. A breakfast that I had never even heard of much less eaten. They were great ...

This means that there are a creepy amount of fish all over the place. They surround your legs as you stand in the water and you can feel them brushing up against you and occasionally even nibbling you.

... AND CORN ON THE COBB (HMMM, SO DELICIOUS!). I REALLY AM SPOILED AND EVERYONE INDULGED ME. YEARS OF COOKING; A VACATION FOR ME IS NOT TO COOK...SO FOR ME, IT WAS A WONDERFUL TRIP!. WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER LITTLE ONE. SHE REALLY IS A SWEET HEART. SHE REALLY SEEMED TO ENJOY HERSELF. SHE DEFINITELY DID SOAK UP ALL THE ONE ON ONE ATTENTION FROM EACH ONE OF US. OH ...

... wonderful. It did rain but mostly all around us. When it did rain we were at the Wharf and on our way to Johnny Rockets. It was fun and the food was really good. We usually don't play the juke box but did this time. I was surprised by the song my daughter-in-law played. I did not know she likes the Temptations! We ate at our favorite places again and again the food was delicious. One place we ...

... serves over 3000 meals a day. The place was a zoo , complete with a two hour waiting time to get in, apparently if we want to get in easily we should arrive at 11 am, 4 pm or 10 pm. So we headed off to the RV to have a nice BBQ. Funny how our imagination had conjured up a small family style place on the banks of the intercoastal waterway, with a funky atmosphere and great food, how wrong can you be?

... from the lakeshore, where he kept his boat in the water and fished whenever he wanted to. There was an abundance of good restaurants on the beach road nearby, as well as a big WalMart. For those of you that don't know, WalMart is rather important to the RV life. Most of them allow overnight parking, as well as, most of the stores now are SuperCenters that have groceries, pharmacies, beauty salons, and just about anything else, so it's an easy one-stop place. etc.
