Last Monday we took the ferry from Ft Morgan across the Mobile Bay to Ft Gaines. These old forts were used to guard Mobile in the 17 & 18 hundreds. It was a beautiful day to take the half hour ride & get a close up of an oil derrick as we cruised by. We spent 2 or 3 hours at the fort. There was a blacksmith demonstrating his trade, when he was done we bought the finished product....happy birthday Randy. Lets see if you know what it is!We returned home via downtown Mobile and some back roads. We stopped on the river so Paul & Dottie could see the Port of Mobile. The cruise ship was loaded and preparing to pull away while we were there. Judy spotted the big Moon Pie that Mobile drops on New Years Eve. OK Larissa....I updated the blog, your mom told us today that said you told her it was time I did this. FYI...they both had fried oysters at DeSoto's and tomorrow we are all going to the Shrimp Basket...let's see if they go for the oysters again, I bet they will have shrimp.
We have been busy the last couple weeks washing & then waxing the HitchHiker, the documentation tells us it 37' long but after waxing it I think it's 370' long. This is the first time we have done this ourselves. We are getting ready to hook up and move to Biloxi Monday.
