Foley, Alabama - Day 8

We were up and out the door early.  Eight thirty and on the interstate.  Who kicked us out of bed? lol  Because we had such an early start, we decided to stop and have breakfast at Denny's.  Now that we have reached the ancient age of 55, we can eat off the "special" menu - also known as the Senior Menu.  I like the senior's omelet as it is made with 2 eggs not 3 and actually has vegetables in it.  Very tasty.

We arrived in Foley without any drama, but then couldn't find the campsite.  We found County Road 20 easily enough - no Anchors Aweigh RV.  Hmm.  Must be  in the other direction.  Nope not there either.  So I called the campground.  Guess what - there are two county roads labelled 20 and 20 south about a half kilometer apart.  Lola (our gps)  only has the first and we of course needed the second.  Okay, no problem now.

This is a very nice new campground.  It is less than 5 minutes from the hustle and bustle of town, but seems like it is out in the country.  Very peaceful.  Beautiful looking facilities.  Wonder if they have monthly or seasonal rates.  We'll check out the clubhouse, pool and hot tub today.  Yesterday we had to zip to the grocery as the pantry was bare.  Except of course for the 1,000 or so teabags and gallon of peanut butter that we brought from home.

We shopped at the Piggly Wiggly.  I'll take a picture of the logo the next time.  Amanda, didn't you do a project for this company?  I giggle to myself every time I see the sign.

Foley has an outlet mall.  It's the same company as the one in Cookstown.  We'll have to check it out.  Maybe today, as the weather forecaster is calling for thunderstorms this morning.  Speaking of mornings, I saw my first sunrise in years.

Wayne did the last blog.  He didn't add pictures, so I will back track to the Welcome to Alabama Center.  There is a huge rocket on the grounds.  A lot of the work for the Saturn era rockets was done in Alabama.

 Memorials to veterans of both Vietnam and Korea were also at the Welcome Center.  Good to see that the vets are not forgotten.

We have a week to explore this area.  Should be lots of fun with lots to see.  We are about 5 miles from the Gulf of Mexico beaches and about 30 miles from both Mobile, AL and Pensacola, FL.  Many, many restaurants with an abundance of sea food.  Let's check it out.
