Alabama Coast
We arrived at the Alabama coast area on Monday, December 30th. We are parked in Johnny's RV Resort near Foley, Al, right next to the AC (activity center). We chose this resort on the advice of some friends (who remain absent from their RV).
We decided to spend at least a week here to catch up on our sleep and spend a little time finding out what retirement really is all about. Already, the day to day routines of our former profession are fading fast. I can't tell you how many times I have totally forgotten what day it is. And it's only been a couple of weeks! Wednesdays and weekends (days off) are no longer prominent days of the week.
After setting up our site, we went directly to our favorite seafood market to pick up some of those famous Alabama gulf shrimp. We are going to have shrimp cocktails with every meal (possibly even breakfast) until we are sick of them. After picking up the shrimp, we took a little walk on the beach. Did you know that it's chilly on the beach in December?

bringing home enough food for at least another meal for each of us. Then we spent the evening (New Year's Eve) watching a couple of those cute Christmas movies that we recorded from the Hallmark channel (such party animals we are).
New years day passed with Jo organizing her photos on her laptop, football games, (how about that Johnny football?), and watching people go in and out of the activity center. I really have to find out what's going on over there.
So far our stay at the Alabama coast has been gloriously lazy and just what we both needed.
