Spring Break - The Rest of the Trip

We wound up our Spring Break with a lovely dinner at the Blue Heron Restaurant in Clemson. Highly recommended!

On our way out, we said farewell to "low" gas prices and real (non-alcoholic) gasoline.
Near Gulf Shores, we stopped for lunch at the Famous Lambert's Cafe - Home of the Throw'd Roll. Not particularly recommended.
This is for Carol. Hibiscus at the hotel in Orange Beach, AL.
Looking from the beach toward the hotel.
We walked across the road to Lartigue Seafood and Crabs for lunch. Fresh steamed shrimp and homemade seafood gumbo. Yum.
Romar Beach Baptist Church is just down the beach from the hotel. Nice location!
Our secondary mission was to visit the house we've reserved for Hornucopia in June. We found it.
The beach was not particularly crowded when we were there.
Looking at the back of the house from the beach.
When we went by the house the first time, the owner happened to be there. We had a very pleasant time chatting with him, and seeing the inside of the house. He was blown away by the amount of information Mimi had acquired about his properties. (Yay Google!)
We went by again on our way home to count the deck chairs.
We took the ferry from Ft. Morgan to Dauphin Island.
It's about a 40 minute trip. On the way, we dodged a Chinese ship, carrying asphalt. Or atomic bombs. Who knows?
We landed in Dauphin Island.
Then we drove home.
