Hey, I just got back from Alabama. The drive there was horrible ( 9 hours), but compared to Orlando ( 14 hours ) , it was nothing. We left at 2:00 a.m. I stayed up all the way. I was wayyy to excited. We stopped in Athens, Alabama to eat breakfast at 5:30. By then I was completly awake. I've never known that Alabama was that long. By 1:00 p.m. we were in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We found a hotel and immediately went to the beach. I got stung so many times by jellyfish all over my body. I guess I stepped in a nest of them. People say vinegar helps the stings but it doesn't. Wet sand worked for me. The next day , we went to a litlle amusement park called The Track. I rode the go-karts there. The next day we went also went to the beach. 1 jellyfish sting. That day I mostly played in the sand. And we went on a dolphin cruise! It was was awesome. We saw lots of million dollar homes. One dolphin even jumped completly out of the water. We went back to the beach just to walk. The next day we went to the beach. I caught with a net about 7 jelly. And that night, drumroll please, WE ATE AT LAMBERT'S CAFE!!!! If you've never ate there , It's southern cooking. Okra, sorghum, rolls, chicken, potatoes. Everything!! If you put your hand they throw a roll at you. Huge, steaming rolls. Best food ever.
