Spanish Fort, Alabama

We are at a beautiful RV park (Meaher State Park) in Spanish Fort, Alabama.  The park only has 56 sites so it is relatively small, but large pine trees and a beautiful water site.  We get to the gate and the lady says that we can have a water site (right smack down at the water) or an inland site.  We said "water for sure!  and grass for the dogs" We absolutely got what we wanted.  we are about 50 feet from the bay and there is a lot of grass between the sites.  So we set up and get the dogs in the x-pens and we start looking around...so what is behind the trailer?

WHAT?

Don't Harass the Alligators?  Are they kidding?  First, where are they and Second, who in their right minds would want to harass them?  Well, we did find out that they rarely (only seen one time) come on shore, but hey this is Cindi and Buddy we are talking about.  I'm sure if it is to happen again it will be while we are here...sigh.  We did see about 5 float by this morning, but they stayed off shore and the dogs can't see them.  So before we take the doggies out we do an alligator check. 

Other than that we had some of the best seafood we have ever had at a place called the Oyster House .  I got grilled shrimp and Buddy got the locals favorite.  I have to say, most places you go to (inland) you get 5-6 shrimp and a ton of fries to fill your plate..this place was just the opposite, you got a ton of grilled shrimp and a handful of fries.  I must have had 20 large grilled shrimp...yum!  Now Buddy's plate was just packed with food, fried oysters, fried flounder, and about 20 boiled shrimp and small corn cobs..OMG!  Now everyone that knows me, knows I'm not a seafood person, but I would eat there everyday if I could. 



We get home, do an alligator check, put the dogs out and watch a wonderful evening unfold.

It is stunning.

Until then... DON'T HARASS THE ALLIGATORS!  :)
