As we drive down I-65 toward the gulf, we passed the time by playing "name the band". Sirrus radio makes the game tons of fun because it will show the artist. Even Momma Deb broke out with an awesome correct call from one of the 70's deeper cuts. I can't remember the artist, but everyone in the car was amazed. "Go Momma Deb!" Also, we listened to the Blue Collar Comedy channel. Poppy and I loved the jokes and stories, but the girls didn't find it quite as amusing.
We arrived to our top floor view of the ocean. We were actually greeted by the faint hum of live music from the FloraBama Lounge. Yep, FloraBama was next door! Thanks to great engineering, the developers of the condo complex put a parking garage between the juke joint and our units.
The ocean was beautiful and a nice constant breeze kept us reasonably comfortable while outside.
Poppy and I played golf two days. One at Perdido Bay Golf Club. The course was in great shape because it was played by the Hooter's tour the previous week. Stacy and Bryant joined us for the Perdido course. Then later in the week we played the local municipal/executive course -- a par 64 (short course). I'm sorry, but I aerated one of their tee boxes! Not a good day on the links!!!
The dinners out were pretty good. Wife's favorite was Lambert's. Just kidding. Lambert's is the place made famous by throwing their rolls across the dining room. The experience was great and I'm glad we did it, but the food was average at best. Lots of fried foods.
When we weren't golfing or eating, we were near the water. We all loved the beach and pool. Even Baby Girl! She loved the water. We think she's going to be a good swimmer since she kicks so well in the water.
That's about it for the beach trip. We were able to do what we intended to do -- relax!!! I think we all needed a get-a-way.
Of course we have pictures:

Tomato eat'n squirrel's
Dad sent me this comic. He's familiar with my squirrel trouble, see "Caught Red Handed".
Lately, the squirrels have been at bay. I think it's due to two factors, (1) we've had some rain so the tomatoes are not their daily watering hole, and (2) our neighbor has been using them as target practice with a BB gun. Either way, I am happy to see some fruit on the vine!
