Stars Fell on Alabama!

We left Gary and Jo's yesterday morning and arrived at Rainbow Plantation in Summerdale, Alabama, around 2 p.m. Set up camp and wandered into Foley, Alabama, to the outlet stores. Did a little shopping and found a pair of shoes.

This morning we headed west to Fairhope for Terry to get his blood work done. We had no trouble locating the LabCorp and he was the only one in there, so he was out very quickly. We drove around Fairhope which is a quaint little town. They have a downtown area and we saw NO stores boarded up out of business. There apparently is a push by Wal-Mart to open a store in Fairhope and people are divided as to whether it should be permitted. We saw "Welcome Wal-Mart" and "Say NO to Wal-Mart" signs all over.

We visited the outlet stores again and found more shoes for me and Terry and I both got some new jeans. . . retired attire. :-)

When we returned to the camp, we washed the motorhome. . . big, big job. Makes we wish we had a van-camper. Hah. We also washed the little car. Hosed down the awning mats and now everything is ready to go tomorrow. We are breaking camp around 9 a.m. tomorrow and heading for the Peanut Festival Grounds in Dothan, Alabama, to the Lower Alabama RV.net rally. Yay. Rally Time.

Till next time. . .

Well, I was down to one pair that was still comfortable. And they are worn out. Haven't found a pair of shorts yet.

Enjoy South Padre. Wish we were there. Would like to swim in the ocean.
