10 Happy Years

We spent our 10th anniversary in the Mobile area with Kathy. We left on Thursday evening and arrived in the Mobile area ta 10 pm. We made it to the river around 10:30. We sat in the chairs by the river and just enjoyed the fact that we were out of town and going to be going non-stop for the weekend.

Friday morning we got up early and went to see Bear, Mom and Grandmom. We brought new flowers and wind chimes.

We then went into Mobile to see the pirates exhibit at the City Museum.

The exhibit was fun and the rest of the museum was very interesting. Well worth the trip.

We drove around downtown a little bit.

After the museum we went to the Cannonball for lunch. That was a great lunch.

We then drove over to Gulfport to go to the beach. We toured many places along the way. We stopped at several beaches and then we went to the Beau Revage. We went inside and Darrin wanted to gamble and Kathy and I went to have ice cream. We had butter pecan and banana monkey. The was the best and way more than we could eat in a waffle cone.

We spent some time on the beach and took some fun G I Joe photos. The sun set and we came back into Mobile and headed back to the river. First we stopped at Hooters for dinner. Kathy got to see how load it is and it was a good salad. We sat up and talked for a while.

On the Fourth of July we got up and went to Grandbay for the watermelon festival. We ate watermelon and walked around. It was fun to watch the little ones play with the animals in the petting zoo and the kids climbing the rock wall. I loved the colors and the smell of funnel cake. The band played great tunes for the fourth like Yankee Doodle. I took lots of photos of stuff that said Fourth of July to me.

We drove out to Bayou La Bartie and looked at the boats. It was nice to see the clean up after the Hurricanes. It was sad to see that homes were not rebuilt along the coast. Conan was cleaned up as well. I so love that area and enjoy driving through.

We decided to drive over to Fairhope and look at the scenery and decide on if we wanted to stay there for fireworks or go to the battleship. We drove by the castle home. The man that built the house was a friend of Kathy's. I remember the dentist that had such a cool back yard in the area. He is no longer there. It is still a quaint little town.

We went back across the causeway to the battleship to watch the fireworks. That was so cool to be that close. The next time for photos I will be behind the battleship and take photos from the causeway. I had fun taking G I Joe photos at the battleship. What a great weekend and what a great Anniversary. Thanks Darrin for 10 great years!!!
