We spent one afternoon visiting Gulf Shores beach which is about a 5 minute drive from the RV park. Although it was a beautiful sunny day the wind was blowing so hard that we were glad we wore our windbreakers. We saw very few people on the beach that day.

| Beautiful clean, WHITE sand beaches! |
We walked and walked on the beach. Before we knew it we had walked 12,000 steps! Now we were tired and hungry so we decided to try Lambert's, home of the throwed roll. We were glad we did! The food is delicious and plentiful. In addition to your meal which comes with 1 or 2 sides, they offer pass-arounds. These are additional side dishes that are served at your table, and you can eat all you want. Servers walk around asking if you'd like black-eyed peas, cabbage, macaroni and tomatoes, fried okra, fried potatoes and onions, and of course molasses or apple butter for your throwed roll. I wound up eating pass-arounds and bringing my dinner home in a LARGE doggie bag! Of course when you want a roll, hold your hand up and the server will throw one at you! It was a fun place to go and the food was delicious!

| Look at the size of that roll! Piping hot! |
Thank goodness we've been walking and biking almost every day! I can't believe that in the month we've been here we've gone from biking 6 miles per ride to 17 miles per ride! I'm going to miss the bike trails here.

We also installed a "tile" backsplash behind our bathroom sink. I did some research and Smart Tiles were recommended for RV use. They are sticky sheets of fake tile and because they are not installed with grout, they won't crack on bumpy rides. I think it looks pretty good!
Next up on our sightseeing list is the USS Alabama battleship...
