Early June we are going to Gulf Shores for a week with my family.

Early July taking my family along with dad and stepmom to Nashville for 3 days. Dad is 66 and loves country music and has never been to Nashville so I’m pretty excited for this.

Doing a Reds road trip series to either Chicago or St Louis….whichever best fits the schedule.

Destin was good…..finishing up Nashville as I type this. Dad loved it and after 2 karaoke songs he was swarmed and hi five’d by a dozen 30 year old guys. Dad can sing.

The Reds trip didn’t match up with my son’s schedule so hopefully next year

Let me know if you have any other questions while you’re here. It’s been hot af with heat indexes well into the 100’s. One of the towns was up to 119 yesterday…

We just had Lewis BBQ and it was quite good.

Does Duke's BBQ still exist?

It was a good trip. Lewis BBQ was awesome. We went back on Friday and I got the beef and cheddar Arby’s knockoff and it was incredible.

82 Queen was the best overall meal we had on the trip, which it should’ve been given the check.

Big Gun burgers was a great deal during happy hour. Only $8 for the classic burger and fries.

We did a sunset cruise, a 3 hour kayak tour of Shem’s creek (saw about 10 dolphins and several got very close to us).

Awesome, I still need to try that Friday special. Where did you end up staying? Anything you didn’t like?

We stayed at the Francis Marion for the first 4 nights and the Mills House for the last 3. Mills House was much nicer, and the area was a lot better. 

Nothing stands out as a bad experience.

Other places we visited:

Frothy Beard brewing

Munkle brewing

Edmund’s Oast brewery

Ghost Monkey brewing

Palmetto State Armory
