The View from the Condo at Phoenix East on Orange Beach, Alabama
I spent the weekend of August 18-20 at Gulf Shores, Alabama with John Norton and Monica Bertolino. John rented a condo for the weekend because of the Doobie Brothers and Peter Frampton Concert. 

Monica and I took the Ferry from Fort Gaines on Dauphin Island to Ft. Morgan on the west end of Gulf Shores.  (These 2 forts made up the defense of Mobile Bay from the revolutionary war era until WW2) That ferry did not exist when I lived in Mobile and it offers an alternative way to get over to Baldwin COunty Beaches.  It was kinda stormy, but a fun 45 minute ride noetheless.

It was an off-and-on stormy weekend, but we got some good quaity time on the beach and at three pretty good restaurants: Friday evening at Happy Harbor (across from the Flora-Bama), Saturday evening at Ginny Lane at the Wharf, and Sunday at Cobalt on Alabama Point.  Local Seafood (and desserts)are dong violence to my weight loss.  But I am back exercising again.
