I was in Florida and Alabama today. After finishing up at the customer site, Greg, Glenn and I headed down to the Gulf Shores for dinner. It was about an hour drive from Mobile, AL, but it was worth ever minute. The beaches are beautiful, the water was warm, and it was very scenic. We headed over to the Florida border, to a bar called the Flora-bama. Glen's an Alabama native, but Greg and I were a little hesitant. When you first walk into the place, you walk through a liquor store, into the bar itself. The place had great character, and it turns out, this is a place that Jimmy Buffett mentions in his book, and the song Ragtop Days and in his book Tales from Margaritaville. Buffett grew up in the Gulf Shores/Mobile area, and he mentions it in a lot of his songs. I want to come back here with Cathie - what a great place to kick-back, relax, and enjoy the weather.
