So we've been coach ridden but the weather wasn't so good anyway but now, all is good. Sun is shining and in the 70's. What a better time than get outside and do a little sight-seeing.
With friends Jim and Carol in tow, we headed for the Orange Beach Seafood festival and car show. Figuring the combination of good food, neat cars and a carnival atmosphere would be good therapy, we ventured out for a day of fun.
We finally stumbled across the place only because of the traffic jam in the area. We got in line and eventually found a pretty good parking spot. Surprise! Free admission. Go figure ... but they probably reasoned that with all the seniors in the area they wouldn't get anyone to show up if it wasn't. Anyone we wormed our way for the food concessions only to find another line. Maybe 50 ahead of us, we wondered what we were getting in to. Like lemmings we stood there for a few minutes then finally figured out that that line was to buy the $10 food ticket; not to get the food. That was yet another line. Looking around towards the front of the food line, we could see plastic boxes of fried shrimp and some other unrecognizable stuffs we being passed out. Some festival. Pay your money and we'll give you what we want you to have.
With the search for food in the tank, we headed for the car show. Maybe 50 cars at best. About what a normal Tuesday 'cruise night' at a Flint hot dog stand is. Anyway we walked through the lot and here's some of the beauties.

Not to rub it in but after the car show we headed over to a beach resturant for lunch. Mid 70's and lots of sun brought out the sun worshipers. Sure beats snow.
Hard to beleive ... but we're still Livin' the Dream
