Historic Districts
April 25, 2008
Wonder no longer. We had a terrific nights rest. The dog was quiet, the planes stopped flying over and the night club didn’t bother us either so it was wonderful. Either that or we just dropped off to sleep and none of those things woke us bothered us.
Today’s breakfast at the hotel was the best we’ve had so far. Fresh scrambled eggs, hot sausage, fresh biscuits, juice, coffee, and jelly. We enjoyed it all.
From Gulfport, Mississipi we headed on east and into Alabama. Mobile’s Historic District got several photographs and the we went on to Pensacola, Florida and their historic downtown area.
