Man, we stayed at this condo in Gulf Shores, right? (actually Orange Beach, but whatever) It was a nice place. I mean, we had this cool monkey statue in our room and a great view of the beach and all. But dude. They did NOT have enough parking! Let me tell you from the beginning. We left Memphis TN at 8 in the morning (central time). We got to Mobile AL around 5:00 (in the evening)… and the traffic was HORRIBLE. Good grief. I’ve never seen anything like it. We sat in bumper-to-bumper traffic for an hour and a half, at least. And it was like that ALL the way to Gulf Shores. So of course, by this time, mum is in one horrible mood, well everybody is cranky. So we pick up our keys and things and head for the condo. Well, we get there, and there are NO PARKING SPACES. None!
Ashley’s mum called back to the registration place and asked what the heck we were supposed to do. The guy there told her “well, you may have to park at Delchamp’s and have someone bring you back.” YEAH RIGHT. We paid for those stupid parking spaces. So we made up parking spaces and unloaded, and then dad and Ashley’s dad just cruised around the lot until someone left. I was never really bothered by any of this, I thought it was kinda funny and I was happy to be there! But STILL!
Anyway, so we get up to the condo and it’s nice and colourful and all. Ashley’s parents and my parents each had the two big rooms with the two nice big baths and a TV and a balcony. Ash and I had the little kiddie room with no TV, a bed that was like, a foot off the ground, a window that looked into the hallway (and worse, there was a light right outside that window that shone in our room ALL NIGHT), no light above the shower, and the curtains above the window were falling. I took a picture, I’ll have to show you all LOL
Good Grief! Look at all that! I really AM babbling tonight.
