Of course our trip would have hiccups. Started off that way. Thankfully, I've learned to just laugh most of it off. Makes you appreciate it more when shit goes your way, right?
On the short trip to board our dogs, the new puppy got nervous and decided to drop ass in the car. He left us a little present in between the seat and console that we had to pull over and take care of. Yay. After that, finally underway.
We went to the Battleship Park in Mobile, AL, where the U.S.S. Alabama battleship is on display, first. We had a blast, the sub U.S.S. Drum is especially awesome. I could spend an entire day just on the submarine. The battleship is nice too, but it was too hot to climb around inside that behemoth. We got some great video and photos all over the park, dispite the windy conditions. We got there a little late, and only had about 2 hours to tour the whole place, so we had to move at a good clip, and missed some things, but had a great experience overall.
When we left we were starving, so we decided hit up an interesting looking little joint called Felix's that we passed on the way in. It has a very distinct look about it. The food was very good as well, they focus on seafood and it was done very well. Nice atmosphere inside, but a stark contrast to the exterior of the building. You'll see what I mean when the pictures are up.
When we got back to the parking lot after dinner, we saw disaster in the making. An extremely nasty storm was rolling in. True to our luck, this bastard was heading the same direction as we were, so we decided to pass on the fun park in Orange Beach and make straight for the hotel in Pensacola. Good thing too, the storm is intense, and turns out we are a little tired.
Tomorrow we plan to hit the Naval Aviation Museum, and see what else we can get into, weather permitting. Fingers crossed. More later...
