Chickasabogue Hike
Chickasabogue Park, AL, March 2026 We did not want to drive too far, but we wanted to get out and do something. We decided to go back to Chickasabogue Park and hike a trail.

Hood’s Ducks
Hood’s Outdoor Center, Alabama, March 2026 Anyone who has ever driven with Kate (especially when she is the driver) knows she can’t resist large roadside attractions.

Something that we (meaning John and Robert) could do was install the two new ceiling fans. Kate’s job was to take pictures. Robert was the supervisor. John…

Keeping Up with the Trends
Escatawpa Hollow State Park, AL, March 2026 Wednesday started with John’s office being invaded by lonely cats. And it ended with frogs and toads raining from the sky. Okay, Okay.

Alabama Welcome Center
March 2026 I absolutely love going to Welcome to Centers. They usually have tons of tourist brochures on must see places. The Alabama Welcome Center was no different. The building had artwork outside. My favorite was the turtle filled with plastic bottles. A reminder that plastic bottles that end up in the sea are endanger…
