With having been social distancing and not having a vacation we decided to take a weekend trip to Chattanooga, TN. We’ve been there quite a bit since it’s just a 2 hour drive from home. So we’ve done almost everything. So we started looking for anything that we had not done and we came across…

Get Outside – Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo
The Little Zoo that Could! On our recent trip to Orange Beach we decided to visit the zoo. We hadn’t been before, so off to the zoo we went with face masks on and camera in hand. We had to wear our face masks in any of the closed areas, but not while walking around…
Final Flight

Elvira’s Cafe

Flipper’s
While on vacation in Orange Beach we decided on this trip to try new to us restaurants. One of the new one’s on our list was Flipper’s. We had added it to our list on a recommendation from our niece and nephew. They had visited on their most recent vacation and said that the hushpuppies…
