Well, we have arrived in Gulf Shores and are now firmly ensconced in our rental house at Martinique on the Gulf for the week. We stayed last night at the Woodridge B&B in Pearl River, LA, the same place we stayed a month ago when we were there for Andrew's cousin's wedding. Today we drove the leg from the Louisiana border to Gulf Shores, AL ( Read more... )
