Fourth of July!!!! We stayed around the campground in the morning. Ate sandwiches for lunch. In the afternoon, we took another nap and then got ready to go to the big fireworks display in Gulf Shores. Before we ate, we ran by to see Richard and Valerie Jackson at their campground and to see their 5th Wheel. It is very nice! I could get used to that! Afterwards, the plan was to eat in Gulf Shores at DeSoto's and then hand around in Gulf Shores until the fireworks started. When we got to DeSoto's, there were about 75 to 100 people in the parking lot waiting to go in. We made a plan B and headed for Foley where we ate our patriotic meal at the all American "Los Fuentas" Mexican Restaurant. If you ever want to go somewhere that is not crowded on the 4th of July, I recommend Mexican. This is a huge restaurant which is usually packed with people and only two other tables were being used when we got in there. Our food was great! We knew with the amount of people that were already in Gulf Shores and seeing the traffic bumper to bumper headed into Gulf Shores, that we didn't want to get in those crowds to see the fireworks. So we headed toward our campgrounds down Fort Morgan road and found a great place to view the fireworks in a new neighborhood that did not have any houses in it yet, only streets had been put in. We had an outstanding view of the fireworks from this spot and the best thing was we were out of all the traffic.
