After one more beautiful sunset on Cape San Blas off Port St Joe, Florida,


… we took our final look straight down at the seawall that will someday surely lose its battle with the elements.
We then stood in line in the parking lot of the nearby convenience store to buy fresh donuts from Weber’s.

Sufficiently loaded up with sugar, we were ready to make the final leg of our trip to Fairhope, Alabama.
But let’s back up – why Alabama? Well, our dear friends Terry and Lynn were about to gain a daughter, Rachel, as their son Trevor was headed down the aisle to wedded bliss. And we’d been looking forward to and planning this trip for months.



On Tuesday, March 18, we checked in with Terry and Lynn, and it was finally time to get the parties started!


Now that the fancy duds were wrinkle-free and the gals were both sporting a healthy glow, it was time to prepare for the first big event, Rehearsal Dinner.





From here, things got pretty crazy with events and festivities. There are very few photos, though. After all, just how the heck is our in-house photographer supposed to fit a camera into her tiny, borrowed clutch (thank you, Brenda!) while celebrating?



We wish Trevor and Rachel a lifetime of love and happiness!
After all that feasting, we needed a walk, so we hit the trail. Well, in this case, we walked down the street from the rental house directly to the shores of Mobile Bay.





We were to be in Fairhope a week, hence, we needed a Travel Challenge card. We pulled it in fact on the 18th while sharing donuts we’d purchased that morning in Florida. As Susie pulled the card, Terry made a joke about it most likely involving eating as many donuts as possible or something similar.
Now that’s funny!




We are now on the way to New Orleans to visit Gonzo & Yvonne. Yes, we are staying a week. Sure hope the next Travel Challenge doesn’t involve food…
