March 1 means it’s time for another Tale of the Traveling Tote!
Join us as we share our latest adventures
with our McKenzie-Childs totes in hand
Miss Coquille and I haven’t done much traveling the past few months,
we’ve been enjoying being in one place,
cozy at home…
But a few weeks ago, we hopped in the car and headed South to our coastal paradise
Mardi Gras is in full swing South Alabama,
Mobile is the site of the first Mardi Gras celebration,
even though New Orleans gets all the credit…
Many of my neighbors have festive decorations on their mailboxes
and in their yards
One day we went to our favorite place for lunch,
Fisher’s at Orange Beach Marina
It truly feels like a tropical paradise
I drove my car so I could stop by the grocery store
and met the boys who came by boat
A tall driftwood pelican greeted us at the hostess stand
Best Mojitos and lemonades in town!
After lunch we wandered around
Blooming hibiscus
No bananas on the banana palms today, but there will be soon
I told you Mardi Gras is big around here!
In the summer this fish cleaning station will be full of red snapper
I’ll tell you a little secret, not only is this marina beautiful,
the restaurants have fabulous food,
the boats and yachts are amazing…
AND
It’s where my daughter and sweet son in law had their wedding reception!
It was upstairs and it was magical…
Time to head back to the house
As I was trying to take one last photo of our boat departing
I realized these diners were looking at me funny…
“Oh!”
“Sorry, I’m not taking your picture, I’m photographing our boat…” I said
“No no…” said the woman,
I’m admiring your phone, that case is so pretty!”
“And it matches your bag!” another woman said
Needless to say, Miss Coquille and I were thrilled
and handed them business cards
for my Society 6 Shop
