Mardi Gras and last day in Orange Beach

Today is our last day in the Gulf Shores / Orange Beach area. I worked on taxes off and on some more today. Late morning, Rosanne, Kelly and Chris went across the street to Doc's Restaurant for Bushwacker ice cream treats. I walked a mile up the road to Pete's Ice Cream and Donuts for some straight home made ice cream! Back here we all spent some more time in the hot tub. This evening was two Mardi Gras parades, back to back, here in Orange Beach, right in front of our condo. Lots of beads, moon pies and other items are thrown out from the many floats and entries! Another nice sunny day with temps in the mid 70's. It's pretty much been in the high 60's, low to mid 70's this past week. Chris and Kelly's friends, Sandy and Mike, (our boat is stored over in their neighborhood RV storage area) came over to watch the parade with us, and for supper. Tomorrow morning, Rosanne will go with Chris and Kelly to Mass, while I go pick up the boat. We'll head out for Deland, FL and the St. John's River then after Mass. 490 miles, so plan to take two days and launch Monday morning at Ed Stone Park.Okumaya devam et
