~Mobile, Alabama~

Well....we have had an interesting few days.   We have finished driving through Florida and have now visited some of Alabama.   We found a nice park just outside of Mobile, Alabama.  We were given strict instructions on where NOT to go etc....and no-one could really give us any good places to see or things to do.........so................off we went to the flea market!!!  :)  There were 700 stands and it was fun to walk around it, despite the very cold weather!!   We all had gloves and jackets on and were still cold!

Then off to the Visitor Centre in downtown Mobile.  It has Fort Conde attached to it, so we took a quick look at that.  It gave us an idea of what life was like 300 years ago.

Then off we went to the History Museum of Mobile and had a good time looking around.  This is the Mardi Gras Exhibit.

The boys checking out the comic section.

Then taking a turn spinning the prop of a submarine.

On the way in and out of Mobile we had a great view of the USS Alabama battleship.

This is THE Carnival cruise ship that was stranded out in the Gulf of Mexico with engine "issues" about a month ago.  The ship was towed to the dry dock here in Mobile.

Our campground.
