We left Texas in mid April and headed to Baton Rouge. 🇫🇷

We enjoyed 'having a Gail's'. 🍦

The magnolias were blooming everywhere. 🌸

We headed over to New Orleans and took a tour on the St Charles Avenue streetcar. 🚎

The beads are in the yards .... 🎉

... and in the trees! 🎊

Beautiful homes along St Charles 🏠

We stopped in the Garden District to stroll and enjoy the environs. 🚶‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a historic cemetery in the Garden District neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1833 and still in use today, the cemetery takes its name from its location in what was once the City of Lafayette, a suburb of New Orleans that was annexed by the larger metropolis in 1852. The city's first planned cemetery, it is notable for the architectural significance of its tombs and mausoleums, often containing multiple family members, and for its layout, a cruciform plan that allowed for funeral processions.

We left the streetcar and got back into our car to head over to AL. 🚙

Fairhope was a lovely little resort town across the bay from Mobile. 📸

We heard the Gulf Shores was a 'must visit' so we headed south to check it out. 🌴

Nice bike ride at Gulf State Park. No, I didn't get off my bike around that sign. 🐊

The beach was lovely. 🌊

Cloudy but good wind for a kite. 🪁

Sunrise on the last day. 🌅

We headed up to Birmingham for a stop to see Jennifer and her godmother. One of the best parts of a roadtrip. 😍

We headed onward to Tennessee and the Carolinas! 🚙
