January 9th
Left Mobile and drove to Foley, Alabama, where we once again ducked them throwed rolls, this time at the second Lambert's Cafe. Then played NTN at a new site called Happy Harbor in Gulf Shore.
On to Panama City Beach and checked into our room right on the beach. Had cocktails at Dusty's and met the Mayor and all at Donovan's Reef South, here in PCB.
Januaary 10th--
Liz's 61st birthday. Went to Wal Mart to stock up for the stay here and also got one of those delicious Mardi Gras King Cakes to serve as her birthday cake. Played NTN at Applebee's Beaches, our 949th NTN site. I'm pretty sure none of the NTN folk who run the business can say they have been to that many.
Went to Donovan's Reef and celebrated Liz's birthday and had cake back in the room.
Liz says this is the warmest she's ever had it for her birthday.
Happy Birthday Liz. --RoadDog

Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Seeking the Warm-- Part 9-- Mobile Bound
THROWED ROLLS
March 1st we checked out and drove US-98 along the coast to Pensacola and over that beautiful bridge to the city. Lots of traffic there.
First stop was Foley, Alabama, where we had a hankerin' for Lambert's Cafe, a real experience. Watch for those flying rolls and be prepared for some major eating. We also had to watch out for our waitress' practical jokes which made the experience even more fun.
Then, it was NTN Cruisin' east of the bay. First stop was Kelsy's west of Foley. Not much to look at, but really friendly people, including the guy who had gone to school with Mike Ditka and the couple who had lived along the Fox River south of McHenry in our neck of the woods.
Then, it was on to Fairhope and a stop at Tokyo Lounge and after that, the Top of the Bay in Daphne.
RAINING IN MY HEART
It was pouring by the time we got out of the last place and continued the rest of the night so didn't have much fun driving I-10 into Mobile. Took it to I-65 and then to Airport Road, one of the scariest places in the country to drive. You just don't know where you're going to get hit from. And, worse, it was rush hour.
We had to drive it way out west where we played some more NTN at the B-Dub and Boondocks (well deserved name). All five of these NTN Buzztime sites were new to us, bringing us up to 13 new places for the trip.
Ended up driving all the way back to I-65 to find a motel that wasn't too expensive. The Hampton said since we were seniors and it was storming, we could have a room for $110 plus tax. Got a room at the LaQuinta for $50.13 including tax.
Drove over to the nearby Wings and played some NTN before going back. We'd already played here before.
A Really Busy Day. --RoadDog
Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
