Another beautiful day in paradise.  We went to the pool this morning and had it pretty much to ourselves.  The depth of the pool goes from 0" to 5'1" with an infinity ledge.  It is a heated pool and we were able to walk right in without feeling cold.  The pool has several waterfalls.  LeRoy and Bob also sat in the hot tub for a while.  Little did we realize that the sun was getting hotter and hotter.  We all ended up looking like pink lobsters later in the day.

Spring Break for college kids is this week in Gulf Shores.  There were signs on the beach that said no alcohol but we did not see anyone enforcing it.  There were lots of people on the beach as it was the first hot, sunny day in several days.  After the boys got an eyeful at the beach we decided to stop for a drink at The Hangout", a tiki bar on the beach. Someone asked me where I went on spring break and I don't recall anyone ever going to FL or Mexico for spring break.  I don't think many people had money in the 60s to spend on a vacation in FL.  

While shopping in Gulf Shores we learned that beer and wine is only sold in grocery stores or at gas stations.  We stopped at "The Oyster Bar' for dinner and we all had our fill of shrimp and seafood.  And we all had enough to take away when we left.  We walked around the boardwalk at this restaurant to look in the lagoon behind it as we were told there were 5 alligators in it.  That must be why the restaurant is up on stilts.  No, didn't see any 'gators.

By the time we got home it was 9:00 and Missy was glad to see us.
