The cold continues

As the snow fell farther north, we were happy to not be at home.  However, the same front that brought snow to New York and New England brought cold temperatures, even here in Alabama.  It's been around 50 during the day and low 40's at night, not good beach weather!

I met Kelly for a walk at Bellingrath Gardens, where it was overcast but out of the wind.  We were too late for the azaleas which must have been beautiful about two or three weeks ago, but there were plenty of other flowers to see.

Kelly needed to get to work for the afternoon, so back to the campground went I.  I spent much time trying to get reservations at RV parks for our trip home.  We are taking it slow, only about 300 miles a day, in order to let all that cold weather move on.  And it must be that many of the snowbirds who are leaving Florida to head back home have been stalled on their way by the weather:  I had a terrible time finding an RV park in South Carolina that had a space available!  

Kelly was scheduled to give an informal talk to the public about her research at Moe's BBQ in Mobile on Tuesday night, so we drove into town for that.  We enjoyed her worm videos along with some beer and great barbecue before heading back for one last night at Dauphin Island Campground.

We packed up some of our stuff in advance of today's departure, so with 42 degrees and wind this Wednesday morning, we need to get the bikes on the car, hook the car to the RV, and head east back into Florida.
