My Alabama Journal

18 Apr, 2014

Good morning,

Welcome to the continuation of Pambling Roads. 

Our travels have brought us all around the "lower 48". We've tried to zip zag and circle through and around every state we could. Florida was where this endeavor started. Here we are in Alabama!

Enjoy your journal.

Thank you for taking this wonderful journey with us. It has been absolutely incredible. 

Please keep in mind that some museums don’t allow photography.

Pambling Roads−My Alabama Journal

Alabama 

The Pioneer Museum of Alabama in Troy

Spend the afternoon and walk through time. You’ll be thrilled to see several artifacts from ancient times to present day. The main building alone has a huge display of museum pieces and history. The buildings and displays outside include a steam locomotive, smoke house, log church, covered bridge, schoolhouse, grist mill and much more. 

Mobile

USS Alabama Battleship Park

Alas, none of the pictures came out (except one) from the Mobile trip. (Hanging my head in embarrassment.)

The park’s dedicated to all Alabama residents who served our country in all branches of the armed forces. Battleships, submarines, an aircraft pavilion, tanks, and artillery are a history lover’s dream. There are multiple exhibits and displays available for everyone’s viewing pleasure.

Mobile Mardi Gras

Most people associate Mardi Gras with New Orleans. However, the first Mardi Gras was held in Mobile, Alabama in 1703.

Enjoy several days of carnival parades, soirees, parties, beads, moon pies, and just all-around fun.

Blakeley State Park

The park is located across the bay in Spanish Fort. There’s a scenic boardwalk on the river, hiking trails, and boat excursions.

For the history buffs, there’s a Civil War battlefield of a little known battle that occurred after General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox.

Thank you for taking the time to visit with us. Comments are always welcome!
