Mobile Golf Weekend

After nearly 3.5 years, Andrew and I decided it was time (more like we finally found the time) to take a vacation, just the two of us, since our honeymoon.  Yes we have been on a few trips since then but they have either been with others (which we enjoy, don't get us wrong) or for a specific purpose (i.e. buy a house).  So this past weekend, we loaded up and headed to Mobile via Ocean Springs.  We left Tucker with his first owners and his favorite cousin and then hit the road.  It was wonderful!

About 7ish - we get this picture and message from MB.

"He is fine.  Give him a bath.  He ate john's dinner when we weren't watching for a second.  Been inside with us."  I should add she ran a hose from her mud sink with hot water outside to wash him...he doesn't get that here.

Yes we are aware that our dog is "well-loved."

We had an 8:30 tee time Saturday at the Falls and Sunday at the Crossings, both of Magnolia Grove (one of the RTJ Trail).  While difficult, the courses really didn't kill us.  We would highly recommend them to a golfer of any skill level.  It was a little chilly when we teed off both mornings but warmed up quickly.  We could not have asked for better weather at the end of January.  When we decided to take the trip, we both expected it  to be cold and for use to have to wear "cold gear."  We were pleased with low 40s and highs near 70...it felt like April!

We stayed downtown Mobile and walked to The Bull for dinner on Friday night.  On Saturday, we had lunch at Wintzell's then dinner at Felix's Fish Camp.  All three were worth a second trip.  We also explored Fairhope and Point Clear.  We thoroughly enjoyed the drive down the Bay.
