Day 1~
We headed out of AR about 12:20am on Saturday morning. Arrived in Gulf Shores about 1pm, & stopped for lunch. Had to take a breather after bringing in all the
junk stuff we brought. Walked down to the beach that evening & saw small tar balls here & there, nothing bad though.
Day 2~
Lunch out to a seafood place called Shrimp Basket. Chris & Retha wanted some seafood & in all these years we've only ate out at Lambert's Cafe. On the way home we stopped to take a couple photos of this bay.

This is Bon Secour Bay. It is on the highway about 6 miles from our beach house. In all these years we've never stopped there. It is mainly a boat ramp, but I think very cool because it's right on the highway.
Once we arrived home we all slathered on the sunblock & headed down to the beach.

Yes the oil spill has made it to "our" beach. Last night was just small tar balls scattered along the beach. Tonight was bad. We've been seeing lots of clean up crew & hopefully they'll work miracles & have it looking good soon.

Up close & personal w/ a big 'ol glob of oil. YUCK!!
Wow! That's something else. I sure hope they can stay ahead of it and keep it cleaned up. Your dad also looked at the picture's and said Wow.
