Grandma and Grandpa weekend

Palm Sunday weekend - We had Grace and Morgan for the weekend.
We had lots of fun and enjoyed every bit of it! Here are a few pictures.

Grace is growing up very quickly!



Morgan is loving the tunnel. So cute!



Grandma is getting in on the fun...

We will wait for warmer weather and boat rides are next.  Dock is in and summer fast approaches - hopefully!

Orange Beach

We had a another great trip to Orange Beach, Gulf Shores and the surrounding area. It was 10 days, just Kelli and I, which is the longest trip and time together since we have been married. We celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary while we were down there. We did have some beautiful weather and got to do so many things and actually had some time to relax besides. Priceless!

Below is a view from the bike trail we found that goes along Mobile Bay.


We found an arts and crafts fair along the bike trail in Fairhope on St. Patty's Day and even found a place to have a beer!




One of the bike trails in the State Park. Very nice.




Scenery along the bike trails in the State Park. Did not see any gators or snakes. Darn.



Sunset on the Gulf from our balcony.



Men of War jelly fish invasion the middle of the week messed up our beach time. Worst I had ever seen.

March in like a lamb

March came in with a wimper. Not a problem in our opinion!  Yesterday(March 6th) was 70 and sunny.  Went for a 10 mile bike ride. Trails were fairly clean although I did run into some shady areas still covered with ice. Only fell once trying to get thru it! Testing the bikes for the trip to Orange Beach. Can't wait!! Found some nice paved rail trails to ride and a trail thru the state park. All is good here and will be glad to get away for a while with no phone.
