Can we just move here?

I have asked Adam that many times since we got to Mobile.  Not just because they drop a moon pie at midnight on New Years Eve, but maybe that is part of it.

People are amazingly friendly.  The lady at the hotel breakfast took us in hand and told us ALL the things. A couple at Bellingrath Gardens did the same.  First they warned us about the nearby water moccasin, then they became our tour guides.  I think they would've taken us home and fed us if they sensed we needed feeding.

At the recommendation of our breakfast friend, we went to Bellingrath Gardens.  In the early 1900s, Mr. Bellingrath convinced the company to let him bottle coca-cola  here in Mobile and let's just say it was lucrative.  They built a summer home near the river and an amazing garden and then they opened it to the public in the 1930s.

It seemed like a movie set for a really beautiful period piece.  I loved it.

We went to Dauphin Island and ate blackened shrimp and went to the beach.

It was in the twenties at home.  And snowing.  The water is definitely not blue like I would expect the Gulf of Mexico to be, but I think it is still in the Mississippi River estuary.

Adam stopped to chat with some fishermen and I filled my pockets with seashells and sea glass which was on brand for both of us.

When we got back to Mobile, we drove around through some delightful neighborhoods and ended up at Mo'Bay Beignets (again, at our breakfast friend's recommendation).
