Austin, TX to Orlando, FL

Gulf State Park has been our stopping spot many times on your same route, but we've been lucky to stay not having reservations. The Gulf is clear and blue, beaches almost too white...you can see our feet when the water is up to your neck. Battleship Alabama is a blast for kids (and adults), but it takes awhile to get em off...near the Gulf Shores exit. Search for Lambert's Restaurant in Gulf Shores, but that's a thread all it's on. The rest is just interstate, but some parts look like East TX. If the drag racer Don Garlits is familiar, he lives on I95 and has a super museum. Oh my, he's still the kid at 82!
