On one of the more cloudy mornings we went on a bit of a road trip. We headed for Dauphin Island.
We took the car ferry across to the island - a God thing... we were in the car spot #21 as we awaited to board the ferry. The sign said the ferry held 18 cars... the next ferry was in one hour and 45 minutes... what were we going to do on an overcast day in the parking lot for almost 2 hours... as the boat was being loaded of course we were the first car to be stopped to wait... after all the other cars were loaded (and a lot of praying by me!) the man put up his hand and said "1 more will fit!" Hallelujah! We were on the ferry! I was so thankful! We stayed in the car on the ferry - what a different sensation to be in the car and yet have no control!
On Dauphin Island we visited the Estuarium - Sea Lab. It was like an aquarium. The kids loved all the fish, snakes, lizards, jelly fish... it was small but the boys really enjoyed seeing all the unique water life.
We also went to Lambert's Restaurant - the home of the throwed rolls. It was a fun experience. They do actually through hot rolls at you and the waitress play jokes on you - one got Dad really good as she pretended to pour a full pitcher of ice tea on him (it was frozen!) but it really made him jump! The food too was really good!
