Orange Beach & Gulf Shores AL & Pensacola, FL ~ Part 3

Rainy Days & Beignets

Translation:

Arcades & Doughnuts...

 

 The rain stops right on schedule to cast off...

...aboard the Cold Mil Fleet

DOLPHIN WATCHING

Guaranteed to see dolphins...

We see them...

They create a large wake with 2 boats running side by side.

Lots of dolphins come out to play...

 Hooray!

 I'm the king of the world! -Jack Dawson

 When you feed the fish...

...this guy eats too... The fish!

  …a place "Where life is good and lunch lasts forever."

 This is dining at its finest.

Kick off the sandals...

 ...throw the kids in a giant sandpit...

...or a wooden box...

 ...crack open an icy cold one & enjoy that cheeseburger in paradise...

This is LuLu's Sunset Grill.

Sister to Jimmy Buffet...

The two parrot heads wanted to waste away right here, in hopes it would never end.

 Morning, Sunshine!

WAFFLE HOUSE!!! (Reprise)

A three years old's final request...

 ...& he wasn't going to let anybody ruin it!

 ...because waffles,
especially WAFFLE HOUSE is all a person needs for extreme happiness...

 Lucky is a sunny side up & bacon man...

 AND, the damage is done.

Our last full official day in the southern sun.

 The Florida - Alabama border.

The Gulf.

Then the rains came in...

 ...nothing else to do...

 ...and when the rain stopped, we found another laid back chill spot...

 ...with an even higher mountain of sand...

This is LOVE.

Jump HIGH up in the sky LOVE.

I've always had a thing for the south...

I'd really like to stay awhile...

By nightfall this mound will covered in kids & grown-ups alike...

...but it's a new day...

...& like all good things...

...it must come to an end...

...SO, how's about one last pineapple mojito for the road...

& a Florida Key Lime Pie to top it all off...

 ...with my sweet lovelies...

At the end of each trip, somebody always asks...

Where are we going to go next???
