Where We Stayed: The Admiral
- We needed a little breather from all the Mardi Gras’ing, so Mike and I took a few little day trips during our week in Mobile. One day trip was to Pascagoula, MS to visit Jimmy Buffett’s childhood home. The other day trip was to Gulf Shores — with stops at Orange Beach, Flora-Bama, the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, and Destin.
- Hope you enjoy the photos!
A quiet morning before we head out and over to Mississippi.

Me + my hermit crab friend.
A few days later, we headed to Gulf Shores — first stop being Buc-ee’s!
Doing the Lord’s work.
I love fountain soda in a Styrofoam cup.
essentials!!
Another tourist trap was next!
Time for a beach stop!
I named this bird Richard. Mike was terrified of Richard.
I am not a beach person. LOL.
Up next was Flora-Bama.
UGH.
We had to try the Bushwackers!
They were very, very good.
Mike had oysters, I had nachos.
I’m in two states at once!
Bras hanging from the ceiling.
The bathrooms were somethin’ else.
Rainbow cups.
A little naval aviation was up next, as we stopped in Pensacola.
*BOOP*
We then made the drive to Destin to end our day at Lulu’s, which was started by Jimmy Buffett’s sister.
The most perfect dinner of seafood gumbo.
Also stopped at a JoAnn Fabrics LOL
And a Margaritaville.
On our last day, we had a lot of time to kill before heading to the airport. We visited the very cute town of Fairhope, AL.
And we also stopped by the USS Alabama’s gift shop. :)
