Alabama Shakes........

...is a good band. :) WE ARE IN ALABAMA! The beach at Daulphin Island ended up an amazing place for complete and utter relaxation station supreme!





 We even had sand exfoliation in the sea! HA! We stopped in for delicious BBQ and Southern Gumbo


and headed sea'ed, sandy, and salty to the show...and it was super fun!




 We painted the town of Mobile in our hand bills and had a couple of GREAT town peeps in the crowd! Music was poppin..we had a couple sistas in need of some dance music..so i think we worked out 2 or 3 different white girl rap numbers and they worked it out. literally. it was fabulous.

it was 12:15am..we wrapped up packed up and strapped in and made our way to our next destination: Birminham, AL.  Caitlin was in to pay a visit to her brother (and Cat Caits mom would be meeting her there) in which it was crucial we were there by 7am, so she was able to catch some shut eye, and we were on a huge driving crunch!

By 5:30 am we made it to our general destination- but we were in need of some serious sleep action..  so we finally found a campground...and Cait dropped me with a tarp, all my belongings and a tent that i was unable to assemble HAHA. it was so drop dead comical that I can't even go into more detail.. i will let the video and my voice give you full insight into the scenario.  it was pretty exciting after i was able to access my surroundings and realize i was in the most amazing jungle of the deep south.  apparently this campground is a retreat for peeps into bouldering, forrest exploring, horses, trails, and they have festivals and events there as well..anyway, i was finally awoken out of my delirious state by inspiration and wrote some music in a cave that looked out into the jungley abyss.  i did fall asleep for a second and woke up in some druel...   ?  expected..

Cat (Caits mom) took us out for BBQ later in the day which was FABULOUS..(ps indulge in southern food any time you get the chance) the turnip greens and BBQ chicken will blow your special needs diet juicin' granola days out of the water. ;)


We made it to our destination of the night (Mim's, a family friend) and finally crashed..a gooood lonnnng 14 hours in the "Jungle room" - a room for Mim's granddaughters...complete with Tigers, painted rivers and fan, oh my. HAHA..we were woken to a delicious spread of smoothies and breakfast items.  Thanks for the Southern Hospitality.  We're charged and ready for the road...doing laundry...enjoying the rain...catching up..getting organized.  Were half-way today! THANKS FOR TUNIN' IN! VIDEO COMING YOUR WAY!  playin' Moonlight on the Mountain tonight in Birmingham, 730!
