Off week
Once again I find myself in the redneck rivieria - Ft Morgan/Gulf Shores area of Alabama. A week of family at the beach. Basically that means little riding, lots of eating and lots of drinking.
Luckily this year it fell on a "rest week" - bwahahahahahaha! I have rideen once. It sucked. It is sooooooooo boring down here. I mean Chicago is flat but this is beyond that....and it's hot....and boring.... yuck.
Anyway....the beach and the hanging out is a blast. Pics from the week:
Little P and his cousin - near aged partner in crime. These two are dangerous together. Smart and beefy. You turn around and they are cracking up as they tackle each other and play chicken. Mrs. P and her sister (Little P's Aunt) in the background.
Learning from an elder cousin.
Bliss. I have identified this moment as one of the moments I truly love in my life. I finally caught it in a picture.
Gulf shrimp, beer, rice, avacado, awesomeness on the side.
We went fishing on a charter again. 6 hours in the gulf and all we really caught was the bait. MMMmmmmm....tasty.

July is a very bad time to go to Gulf Shores, man. I recommend winter! I grew up in Mobile and know the area well but have only visited occasionally for the last 35 years or so. Anyway, I enjoyed the post… it really brought back old memories. If you go back again a short drive to Fairhope puts you in some slopes… but I have no idea if there are trails or safe roads these days.
