Our second trip in Go Home II is one to the Alabama coast. We wanted to stay at the Dauphin Island campground but there are two large Mardi Gras parades on the island this weekend so we are staying just a few miles from Bellingrath Gardens until Monday. Breland and I visited the gardens today, spending several hours walking through and admiring the many camellias and flowering trees. We'll move Monday to Dauphin Island on the Gulf of New Mexico.
Bayou La Batre is just a few miles from our campsite. The availablity of fresh seafood and the large number of birds here is a real draw. We're surrounded by snowbirders. I think we may be the only southerners.
