Great Day for a PICNIC

The weather has finally turned for the better and today was no exception - about 60 and cloudless skies meant it was time to picnic - went to Mobile Bay where the ferry docks to take you to Dauphin Island. The pictures below show how nice it was - the ferry coming in with a load about to leave with a line of cars waiting. There was a Mardi Gras parade on Dauphin so lots of people were heading across. The alternative was to drive all the way around Mobile Bay for a good 60 miles.
Watching the Olympics last night was something else - talk about a technical presentation of epic proportions! I think I spent the evening with a stupid grin being awed by the whole presentation. Russia should be really proud with what has been accomplished in only 7 years. Every venue I've seen so far has been excellent. GO USA!!!
Here are some pictures you might like.
