It was overcast and very humid this morning. Already 67 degrees and expecting a high around 78. LeRoy put the wheels and pedals back on our bikes so we could take a ride around the complex. Lots of people out walking and most had dogs with them.
At 11 am we met at the Clubhouse to caravan to Flipppers Restaurant at Bear Point Marina in Orange Beach forlunch. Flippers offers a limited dolphin and dine menu but the blackened grilled shrimp, rice pilaf and fresh veggies I ordered were delicious.
Following lunch we went on the Bay with Dolphin Cruises. The captain took our navy-like transport 30 minutes out into the bay and we had not seen any dolphins. However, as he turned the boat around, there they were -- those rubber-coated silver mammals gliding under the boat's wake. Then as the boat picked up speed about a dozen dolphins of all sizes playfully leaped out of the water, one by one, then several at a time, enjoying the surf. The gleeful fish were just like that pig on the commercial...I could almost hear them all screaming Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Back to the bus to let Missy out. She had been lounging in the air conditioned coach and was in no hurry to go outside. Poor old gal, she is leery about going up and down the steps these days.
Dinner found us celebrating the Mansfield's 47th wedding anniversary. A local Mexican restaurant, El Paso, served up great Mexican food and jumbo Margaritas in Foley.
Plans for tomorrow include a viewing of the movie "HUGO" in the clubhouse theater. The movie won several oscars so we are looking forward to this somewhat private showing with free popcorn and soda.
