This is the swing bridge. Isn't it cool!

Happy Birthday, Bob! Sorry there is no cell service here, so I can't call you on your birthday. Love you and hope your day was great!

Today Norm & Sue, and John & I spent the day in Fairhope. We started at Walmart grocery shopping. The Walmart Greeter was hilarious! He sang us a rap song about shopping at Walmart and being happy. It was funny and very strange. We took the groceries to the boat and then spent the rest of the day in town walking through all the little shops. One thing we noticed was that 75% of the shops had dogs in their shops. All of the dogs were nice. I just thought that was odd. The town itself is quaint. There were very few vacancies in their store fronts, there were lots of fall flowers around the business district, and the houses and yards were extremely well taken care of. We had lunch at Mary Ann's in their outdoor courtyard.

At dinnertime, we were planning to go to Ben's Bar-B-Q that we had passed early in the morning. A 8:30 A.M. they had the food cooking and it smelled so good when we passed by. However, when we got there for dinner, it was closed. So, instead, we went to Old Bay Steamer and had delicious seafood.

We are hoping to leave at first light in the morning barring no fog or big time waves.
