Alabama

Well our trip to Alabama has come and gone. Everything about it was fabulous. The weather, the beach, the food, the sightseeing and, okay I guess the people too;) Ann Rae is a pro at flying now. Funny story. On one of the planes we were sitting in the first row behind 1st class. Well the way the aisle turned it was like Tim (who was in the aisle seat) was sitting in the aisle of first class. When we were ready to land he laid our magazines, coloring book and book on the floor next to his feet. As soon as we touched down the stack slid all the way down the aisle of first class and bumped the cockpit door. The looks on peoples faces were hysterical. They slowly watched it go by then they all turned around to see where it came from. I wanted to die! Tim was laughing and I was horrified. The flight attendants had to leave it there for a few minutes until they could unbuckle their seat belts.

(Ann Rae 'found' this shell at the beach. Her cousin Brown went and bought it at a local souvenir shop and hid it in the sand for her to find. It was so sweet of him. We might tell her when she is 20 years old, but right now she thinks she found the best shell on the beach!)

Mobile is a beautiful city. We didn't do as much local stuff because we just enjoyed relaxing and hanging out at the Alabama Sissons' house. We did, however, tour the coast at and around Orange Beach. We stayed one night down there and took a Ferry ride and even ate at LuLu's in Gulf Shores (Jimmy Buffett's sister's restaurant) a really fun place to visit and eat at. It was a great trip all in all. I was sad to leave and getting on the plane in 80 degree weather and getting off in 40 degree weather didn't make it any easier.
