Well, everything I wrote about happened even if the order might be a bit fuzzy. My brain is foggy enough on its own, but going back to work after a full week off has fried it pretty good this week. Enjoy the pictures, I took the liberty of captioning them because, you know, I'm just that kind of guy! And I captioned all 34 pictures, so it's like another, usual length, pictorial blog post!
Happy Friday, everyone.
All pics are after the break.

The Florida shore as we come in to land at Pensacola. |
|
Dead center! |
|
The whole side of the building floor, front to back, was the condo. |
|
Loooong. |
|
Dan and Mom, um, discussing something maybe? |
|
Looking west. |
|
Waves. Um hm. Waves. |
|
We're in the left building here. |
|
Tacky Jack's! |
|
Mobile Bay Ferry |
|
Mom posed this picture. She's into corner shots now. |
|
The platform referred to on the ferry, I posted the informative sign. It was interesting, go back and read it....NOW! |
|
Aircraft. |
|
Look..... plaaaanes... That's a sub in the left background. |
|
Ships, submarines, tanks, planes, guns, helicopters and more. Might be worth the day trip and tour if given the chance again. Or maybe not. |
|
Dan, by the lazy (unused) river |
|
Kate, checking out the hot tub. We would use it a couple days later. |
|
Looking for dolphins? |
|
Possible?! |
|
I'm not sure how a pile of sand beside the road is supposed to help, unless they had one every hundred feet and a guy with a shovel and section of road. |
|
Look at the ice. And we couldn't get more south in Alabama unless we went to the other side of the condo! |
|
The gulf waters were warmer than the air. |
|
An evening in. Heck, the city was shut down anyway. |
|
Icy roads, balconies, and tennis courts. Wait 'til you see the pool! |
|
Look for Dan on the balcony! Hint, right side, 5th balcony up, yellow shirt. |
|
Dead jellyfishes. |
|
Dan and Mom again. I must like sneaking up on them and taking pictures of their backs. |
|
Dan, preparing a wonderful spaghetti dinner. |
|
There it is! Ice on the pool! |
|
It was a bit chilly for a dip, that's for sure. |
|
Mom and Dan looking out. |
|
West, from the top floor. 25th if I remember ritght. |
|
East from the top floor. Dan and I went up there to listen to the garbage drop 25 floors. It was cool. |
|
And one last goddamn Waffle House on our way out of town. Really, how many do you need down there? |

Thoroughly enjoyed your trip. Still can't believe the ice on the pool and the icicles on the balconies!
Thanks BW. It was their worst weather in 30 years, but it was still warmer than back home!
It looks just the place to relax... I nearly said 'chill out'! Astonishing to see the ice though.
I google mapped Alabama coastline so as to see the geography of the place. Houses on stilts... experience and knowhow! It looks a great place to visit and I now know where Biloxi is.
I believe they are getting similarly bad weather down there again. I'd call my mom but they have other guests now.
