HOOVER, AL: Day Two

The blog is a little behind, but here's an update for you!

We left Rainbow Plantation near Summerdale, AL on Thursday about 10 A.M.  The journey was uneventful until we neared Jemison, AL.  Luckily, Hank was listening to a CB frequency and heard the truckers talking about an upcoming huge traffic backup due to a bad accident, so we took the next exit over to Highway 31.  So did a lot of other vehicles.  It was slow going but at least we were moving.  Returned to I-65 about 20 miles later and progressed on to the Hoover RV Park, but the delay added almost an hour to our trip.

After doing a quick setup, Hank talked with some friends on the local repeater and got an invitation to join a small group at a Mexican restaurant - Two Pesos. After settling a little water hookup issue with the RV, we joined the group at the restaurant.  Another couple came in and sat with us so we had a chance to make new friends.  After a delicious dinner, we returned to the RV for a quiet evening.

On Friday, we met up with the Lunch Bunch at Cafe Trentuno in Pelham.  Kathy joined us as well for food and conversation.  After returning to the RV, Selene made Chex Mix and Apple Dump Cake.   We went to Debbie & Robert's for a homemade pizza dinner.  Will and Meghan joined in the fun.

Saturday dawned colder with snow flurries.  Hank and I went to the Birmingamfest and saw many old friends.  After returning to the RV, we had a bratwurst lunch, then Selene made more Chex Mix. We're going to Kathy's for dinner tonight, and more family visiting.
