Loaded up on carbs again this morning, went to Dick Russell BBQ for breakfast. 

Jerry worked on the radar this morning.  In the afternoon we went to Oakleigh House, an antebellum home in downtown Mobile.  http://www.historicmobile.org/Oakleigh08.htm
We didn't take any pictures here but enjoyed the tour.  One unique characteristic is that the main house is on the upper floor. 

Decided to play the rest of the day, we drove to Dauphin Island south of where the boat is, right on the Gulf.  It was later in the afternoon and turning cooler but still fun to be on the sand and feel the salty breeze.


We drove back through the country so we could check out the Bellingrath Gardens and home, supposedly a "must see".  It was getting dark so didn't expect to see much.  The place is very touristy.  All decked out for Christmas, there were streams of cars coming to see the lights.  Not much for crowds, we cruised the parking lot and exited.  I understand it is very beautiful.
