Gun Over Mobile Going east on I-10 across Mobile Bay, you pass right by the Battleship USS Alabama. Stop. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Exit now and enter Battleship Memorial Park. This is a great place for the entire family. It's full of history with lots to see, both on and off the ship. There is a hanger with WWII airplanes and the USS Drum submarine. On the grounds you will also see tanks, vehicles, anti-aircraft guns and more. This gun (or cannon) points back to the city of Mobile.

A Constellation Sunset Our new minor league baseball team, the Skeeters, play at the new Constellation Field. It’s a great ballpark and every seat is a good one. The more expensive seats behind home plate have a good view of the infield and are close to all the food vendors. But the hidden gems at this ball park are the “cheap” seats in the outfield. I suppose the setting sun might be in your eyes for an inning or two, but when there’s a pretty sunset, they have a great front row seat. Don’t tell anyone though, or they might start charging more for the extra view.

Little French Church You can't help but notice all the churches as you travel through the French countryside. Every village or town has one. You can see a few others here. This was taken between the rain bursts we drove through while leaving Normandy. The skies had been dark all afternoon and the rain came and went until we hit Paris, when the bottom fell out. Even on a rainy day, it still has an old world charm.
