We went off to the Gulf Shores Public Beaches in Alabama, real nice beaches.  We also attended Mardi Gras celebrations in Pensacola, Florida.  We had a great time, I got lots of beads.  We also stopped at the ‘Bellingrath Gardens and Home’, in Theodore, AL, nice house and but Gardens weren’t in bloom yet.  Another stop was the ‘Fort Conde’ revolutionary war fort in Mobile, AL.
