Sunday was our last really nice day here, we knew the weather would be changing for the worse so we got one last long bike ride in and walked all the loops here at Buccaneer State Park. Monday and Tuesday were washouts for the most part so we spent the time getting errands done, a few things done inside and just hanging around the rv. We are really enjoying all the space we've gained in the new rv, especially on those cold rainy days of which we've had too many this winter.
Wednesday we decided to get out for awhile, with it still cool we
decided to head to the
Infinity Science Center,
it is here that NASA has
tested all of their rocket engines, the tour includes a bus tour of
their test facility. Regular price is $10 a person, they do have a few
discounts that we didn't qualify for but on Wednesday it's 1/2 price for
55+, the gentleman checking us in said we qualified and I wasn't going
to argue. After the bus tour we went back into the visitor center where
we found lots of kids obviously on a school trip, we tried to go where
they were but it's not a big place so saw the things we wanted then
headed out.
After we headed into Waveland and did a few errands and then headed home. We hadn't been home too long when there was a knock on our door, it was Jane and John of the blog
Flamingo on a Stick.
I have followed their blog for awhile and had left them a message we were also in Buccaneer, they had been out for a walk and saw we were home so stopped to say hi. Unfortunately forgot to take pictures, after our short visit we started getting the outside stuff taken care for our Thursday move. We did like our stay at Buccaneer but don't know if we'd go back, we came away with some of their infamous bug bites, while they didn't bother us while biking anytime we went outside they did swarm around us.
Thursday we headed to Rainbow Plantation an Escapees park (our first) in Summerdale AL. It's a nice park with really nice large sites, the rv behind us has VT plates (though the truck has MA plates) so you know we'll be checking that out.
For dinner Thursday night we headed into Foley to visit Lambert's Cafe III home of the throwed rolls, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great meal. We had so much left over we have enough for another meal, we had heard about them on some TV show so had to check them out.

Until next time...
Hog jowel? They look like thick bacon. Never had them, but we like to try everything once, so somday we may.
ReplyDeleteTasted like bacon too, wasn't sure what would be coming out when he ordered it.
DeleteWe found Lambert's quite an experience too! In fact, if we had actually eaten "appropriate" amounts, we probably would have had enough for 2 more meals...or 3 :) Of course we didn't :)
ReplyDeleteWe had left over hog jowls instead of bacon and country fried steak for lunch, what a fun place.
DeleteWe've had that rain business too. Bugs ruined my favorite park for me. I won't return either. Sounds like fun at Lamberts.
ReplyDeleteDon't go to Buccaneer think they are always there no matter the time of year, doubt we'd go back again.
DeleteEnough food for two or three meals, had a great time with you.
