Anniversary and a Hurricane

Reed planned a trip to the beach for our anniversary.  Little did he know that in less than 24 hours into our trip the govenor would issue a mandatory evacuation from Gulf Shores.  The weather was beautiful - sunny skies, gentle breeze, not to hot, etc!!  We left early Sunday morning and were on the beach by 10:00 in the morning.  So, we did get one glorious, complete day on the beach!  We ate a wonderful supper, sat by the beach after supper , watched the dolphins put on quite a show right in front of us before loading up the next morning, and all in all had a perfect but short trip!!

This was our view when we arrived!  It could not have been more beautiful!

This was in our hotel parking lot when we were loading up to go home!  This is never a good sign!

That's Mr. Fred Hunter and his camera man.  Little did they know that dolphins were putting on a jumping exebition right behind them!! I tried to get a picture of them, but they were just too quick!

Although it was still an overcast but beautiful day, Mr. Govenor insisted we leave......

And in his defense, this is what it looked like the next morning....(I stole this from James Spann.)



Reed has promised we will go back in a few weeks.  But, dove season comes in soon.......I've learned a lot in 30 years of marriage, and my money says the doves are going to win this one!!
