It is Tue. morning the 13th. and the weather is great and all the rain and clouds and cold are gone. We decided to do a little tour of the city before the car had to be returned at noon. We went to see the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion in Mobile. The 13,000 sq. ft. Greek revival home was built in 1855 by Judge John Bragg as there winter home and for the Mobile social season. It was owned by four other families, the last being the Mitchell's who took such care care in maintaining the home. It actually sat vacant for 15 years after the Mitchell's, when the Gulf Coast Exploreum group began restoration of the mansion back to its antebellum grandeur. We enjoyed the tour and the work that had been done to restore it. It is used as a place to hold weddings and special events.
After we came back to the boat and I worked on the blog for a bit. It does take time to put this together. And as I am not so techie it does take my longer. We stayed on board that time and I cooked dinner and we watched TV. Our Dancing With The Stars fix.... We are hoping to leave tomorrow if the water levels are up. We were at to lowest possible tide for the month and were almost if not on the bottom. We will see what tomorrow brings....
