What a wonderful trip. :-) We should all cherish every minute with our parents. Amazing how we try so hard when we are 18-21 to get out and be on our own and so hard as we get older and they get older to hold on to them as much as we can.
Your absolutely right, Janis' mom passed away a couple of years ago and her dad is just now ready to "do" a few things, so this trip was the 1st time he was willing to leave the house and take a short weekend getaway with us. We hope to do more as we want to "FLY" him someplace too, which "was" the plan for this trip! Thanks for your kind words!
True, as you know we would have filmed this segment anyway, after the flight video down. As we try to chronicle BOTH the Journey and the Destination. Spending time with family whether in the air or on the road is what counts!
We do love the driving portion from Louisiana down to the Gulf Coast. It’s a 4 lane divided highway for most of the trip. Get to see more of the local scenery!
...really miss living on the beach and watching the beautiful surfing dolphins ..and..mmm..mmm....think I am really getting hungry now...gonna go look in the fridge..thanks for sharing...and keep up the good work...
So awesome to see you guys spend some good quality time with your father....so special. The food that you guys got to enjoy looked delicious. It looked a little chilly on the beach, was it? Really enjoyed a true glimpse into your lives, with family ext...awesome stuff. ONE LOVE
It’s a nice area. Wish we could have flown in since Jack Edwards is supposed to have some great FBOs. I could see it being crowded during their season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) but when we were there it wasn’t crowded at all.
Awe! Janis, you & your dad picture shows what family is all about...Great pic! You both will always cherish those moments! Also I am sure Janis' dad enjoyed the visit as well and I know Ron enjoyed the food too, there was a lot of it and it all looked really yummy! :-) Thanks for sharing, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Don/NE Ohio :-)
Ron, It sucks your 182 is down, but I'm glad to see you are not out! Hooray for flexibility! What beautiful scenery and I could almost taste some of those meals! I loved seeing the dolphins, they are such curious and playful lil fish. Great editing on this one! The choice of music was entirely fitting! 5 stars and 2 dew claws up!
Can’t believe Janis Dad never went mini golfing. If you make it here to IL, we can go mini golf at a basement of a real funeral home 🤣🤣🤣. The shrimp skewers looked really good. That was so awesome to see those Dolphins!!! Great land trip guys. I bet that took much longer.
Looks like your dad really enjoyed the visit ❤ So much food in one visit! The fish tacos and thise spicy shrimp looked delicious. Lol.... sometimes its so hard to wait on the pictures and videos of the food...we totally understand the struggle 🤣 Fun video guys... see you soon! 👋 Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Missed the Bravo Bravo Zulu in the beginning. Not use to seeing you guys on land. Great to see you guys hung out with Janis Dad. You guys hit so many places.
"Plane down for maintenance, and it's still down for maintenance"... well, I understand that! (new prop for my DA40 just arrived at the shop after a 3 month wait). The trials and tribulations of aircraft ownership, and the patience to endure the delays. Nice video, Ron and Janis, even without your lovely C182. Thanks! Wayne
Maintenance was the dreaded "Morning Sickness" on one of the cylinders. And NOW, its down for annual..... But at least you have a lot of buddies with planes to fly with! Thanks for watching a non-flying video, but we typically have a flight somewhere, what we did when we got there and the flight back, so this one just cut out the flying parts - HA! Hope yours is back in the air soon Wayne......
Excellent video u guys--- and where was the plug---for Billy's Boudin. That stuff is, well you know OK. But you know where the best is!!! I see that you all found all the good spots, and that dessert case, well Janis, you may have had some competition there. The water tour looked awesome with all the dolphins tagging along. Janis , your Dad looks great. Thanks for sharing from Deep Down in Cajun Country----KOPL
Yea, we KNOW where the best Boudin is located, but when you’re on the road in Alabama, ya take what you can get, it was pretty good, but NO comparison to Billy’s Boudin!!!!
Wonderful trip with your dad, Janis! The restaurants looked great. And that dolphin cruise was amazing - awesome video catch of the dolphins 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day 😀.
It was a great trip. Just long enough to feel like a get away, and short enough for Daddy. It is the “off-season” for Gulf Shores, so we felt like we got more of the local experience that we enjoy.
Yea, 16 hours driving vs 4 hours of flying, but spending time with family (as you know) makes the time go by so much easier! The dolphin cruise was a blast!
It looks like you all had a wonderful time on this trip. No doubt Janis's father enjoyed every bit of it. You can clearly tell by the smile on his face. I love how you "always" seem to find the best restaurants no matter where you are. Excellent job once more with the video and thanks for bringing me along with you guys. You are truly the best no doubt about it!
Janis, you really are Daddy's girl. I see the resemblance. Two great looking people. Man seeing all that food has my mouth watering. At Port Aransas, Tx near Corpus Christi we used to ride the free Ferry across from Padre Island over the ship channel to the mainland. We always would see Dolphins jumping and playing. One time I had not seen any Dolphins and I said to one of the workers running the Ferry, where are the Dolphins today? He siad, we don't have any Dolphins here. Just as he said it 4 of them jumped right out of the water beside the ferry. He said he had worked there for 8 years and never knew there were Dolphins there. I guess he jusr wasn't paying attention. Janis, whenever I get near a bakery I say I'm approaching Nivana. Great video.
Thanks Preston, Janis (as you know) cant pass up fresh bakery items!!!! It was a blast seeing the Dolphins surfing like that, it was a great experience for Janis' dad s the trip was structured around him and what activities he would be able to do at 90 years young!
Bet that ferry put out a good wake for them to play in! I’ve never really thought I resembled my Dad much, but there are pictures of his mother that looked just like me when I was younger. Thanks for always watching and leaving such nice comments.
So we decided to eat at The Hangout. Great food and service. Gulf Air Center at KJKA was absolutely awesome as well. A beautiful day of flying yesterday and a great way for the wife and I to celebrate our 5 years together.
@@pssryan We had “planned” on using Gulf Air as well......If we flew-BUMMER! Didn’t make it to the hang-out though, glad it was good, You going to try Cobalt’s? Keep me posted on the HIGHS/LOWS of you’re trip!
Your plane looks odd in this one. 😁 Fun with dad! I think you guys have great taste in seafood. I would have gotten either grouper or redfish too. 👍💪 Awesome to watch the dolphins. 🔥 Nicely done.
Haha glad that you could laugh through the tunnel- they make me panic out 🤣. We haven’t stopped at Bucces yet - we keep seeing signs! LuLu’s looked great! This vlog made me so hungry! We passed the mini-golf! We tried it a few weeks ago with the kids in FL and they weren’t completely into it 🤣. Now I can see what you are talking about with Cobalt’s! The food, the atmosphere! Looks amazing! We saw dolphins but didn’t take a cruise - how cool! You were so much closer! Loved this vlog so much! 💕❤️

No truer words...
Flying is great but sometimes a casual road trip is fun too!
True, as you know we would have filmed this segment anyway, after the flight video down. As we try to chronicle BOTH the Journey and the Destination. Spending time with family whether in the air or on the road is what counts!
We do love the driving portion from Louisiana down to the Gulf Coast. It’s a 4 lane divided highway for most of the trip. Get to see more of the local scenery!

Yea, we LOVE the water! The dolphin cruise was an unexpected highlight of the trip.
We will eventually retire somewhere on a beach!
Retirement will definitely include a beach somewhere!
So awesome to see you guys spend some good quality time with your father....so special. The food that you guys got to enjoy looked delicious. It looked a little chilly on the beach, was it? Really enjoyed a true glimpse into your lives, with family ext...awesome stuff. ONE LOVE
Thanks, we occasionally show some family time as well, we had hoped to fly down!!
Another fun video. Man,...I'm hunger after watching this week's video. And Gulf Shores has moved up a little higher on our places to fly to list!
We still like Destin better, but Gulf Shores is a little more dog friendly, so we figured we would visit and see what we thought about it.
It’s a nice area. Wish we could have flown in since Jack Edwards is supposed to have some great FBOs. I could see it being crowded during their season (Memorial Day to Labor Day) but when we were there it wasn’t crowded at all.
Awe! Janis, you & your dad picture shows what family is all about...Great pic! You both will always cherish those moments!

Don/NE Ohio :-)
Thanks Don, wished we been able to fly down, but we are trying to plan another trip with Janis’s dad when we can fly, he loves planes!!
Thanks, Don! We are so glad we got to have this trip together. We all needed some down time!
So glad y'all could take daddy to Gulf Shores for a great time and thanks for the video.
I think he had a great time, he couldn’t stop talking about the dolphins!!
Warren, I’m so thankful for the great memories we created!
Ron, It sucks your 182 is down, but I'm glad to see you are not out! Hooray for flexibility! What beautiful scenery and I could almost taste some of those meals! I loved seeing the dolphins, they are such curious and playful lil fish. Great editing on this one! The choice of music was entirely fitting! 5 stars and 2 dew claws up!
Thanks anytime we can spend with Janis’ dad at 90 years young, we try to take the opportunity, he was disappointed that the plane was down too!
We had a great trip - just ready to fly again! We still plan to take Daddy somewhere in the plane.
Can’t believe Janis Dad never went mini golfing. If you make it here to IL, we can go mini golf at a basement of a real funeral home 🤣🤣🤣. The shrimp skewers looked really good. That was so awesome to see those Dolphins!!! Great land trip guys. I bet that took much longer.
Yea that shocked us too, we thought EVERYBODY has been mini-golfing at least once in their life.... Dolphin cruise was awesome!!!!
The road trip seemed ENDLESS!! From Louisiana down to gulf coast was only about 6 hours so it wasn’t bad. But the trip from Wichita down was long....
I must say - I’ve never played putt putt in a funeral home!
Thanks for sharing your time with "Daddy."
He's a great Father-in-Law!!
It was such a great long weekend!
Looks like your dad really enjoyed the visit ❤ So much food in one visit! The fish tacos and thise spicy shrimp looked delicious. Lol.... sometimes its so hard to wait on the pictures and videos of the food...we totally understand the struggle 🤣 Fun video guys... see you soon! 👋 Ashley from Adventure Encounters
Thanks, Janis' dad is 90 years young, so we need to start chronicling our time with him, this trip was structured around him and we all had a blast!
We had so much fun with Daddy - we all needed some time away. Learned his limits - one major activity a day and about 3 nights away!
Memories for a lifetime. Thanks for taking us along.
Thanks, we appreciate it.....
It was a great long weekend!
Missed the Bravo Bravo Zulu in the beginning. Not use to seeing you guys on land. Great to see you guys hung out with Janis Dad. You guys hit so many places.
Thanks, Yea we try to show some “land” stuff sometimes!
It was a great trip - we all needed some down time.

We are getting a bit stir crazy and ready to get back in the air. Just need to decide where we can go!
Excellent video u guys--- and where was the plug---for Billy's Boudin. That stuff is, well you know OK. But you know where the best is!!!

NOTHING compares to Billy’s!!! We did have a good time and found some really good seafood. I should have gotten a few “samples” from that case! 🍪 🧁 🍮
What an amazing dolphin!
That was a highlight of the trip, plus Billy really enjoyed it too, which was the main reason to go!
Dolphins are ALWAYS entertaining.
Wonderful trip with your dad, Janis! The restaurants looked great. And that dolphin cruise was amazing - awesome video catch of the dolphins 👍. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your day 😀.
Thanks, I’m showing Janis you’re video on those roots now!!!!
It was a great trip. Just long enough to feel like a get away, and short enough for Daddy. It is the “off-season” for Gulf Shores, so we felt like we got more of the local experience that we enjoy.
Looks like an awesome trip! Seeing dolphins is always a blast.
Yea, we were so glad Billy enjoyed it, he talked about it the whole way back!
Took a bit to get them to play behind us - but lived watching them.
Driving must be a pain after flying so much. The food looks delicious. Dolphin cruise fun!!
Yea, 16 hours driving vs 4 hours of flying, but spending time with family (as you know) makes the time go by so much easier! The dolphin cruise was a blast!
The drive seemed endless!! We’ve gotten pretty spoiled to flying.
Lovu !!!not use to seeing you guys on land...Great to see you guys hung out with janis bad.you guys hit so many places.take care
Ha, Ha . . . Thanks, yea we do film a few things on "land" after all its not all about the "Journey" but the destinations as well . . . .
What a great time with your dad Janis! My favorite part for sure was the dolphins 🐬 they are so fun to watch!
It was a great weekend getaway and much needed by all....
You can never go wrong with dolphins!!! 🐬

Thanks, Kevin! It was a much needed getaway for all of us.
Thanks Kevin, Janis’s dad Needed a break and this was a great way to enjoy each other’s company!!!

@@Parr4theCourse I sure would never guess he is 90. WOW! He looks better than me!
@@prestonmiller9552
He’s pretty active!
He just finished rebuilding his deck from the damage done by Hurricane Laura. Worked at it a few hours a day.
Nice! We are flying into KJKA tomorrow for a day trip in Gulf Shores. Lulus is definitely on the list!
Well, I hope your dinning experience is better than ours . . . .
LuLus was a fun place. The food was okay - wasn’t hot.
Let’s hope so! Thanks for the heads up!
So we decided to eat at The Hangout. Great food and service. Gulf Air Center at KJKA was absolutely awesome as well. A beautiful day of flying yesterday and a great way for the wife and I to celebrate our 5 years together.

Thanks occasionally we “have” to drive the family Truckster vs flying!
5, count em 5 meals (with Rons finger food car snack) in this video, 0 flying and still it was fun to watch. Thanks.
Ha, THANKS, we "meant" to fly down, but in aviation you have to be flexible!
@@paratyshow
Ok…..
Ooooppsss!!!!!
@@Parr4theCourse No Ooooops, just doing my little bit to help while enjoying the great content that you guys produce!
@@paratyshow
We really do appreciate your loyalty!!!
I totaly missed my chance to say "little bitty tinny winie"
Haha glad that you could laugh through the tunnel- they make me panic out 🤣. We haven’t stopped at Bucces yet - we keep seeing signs! LuLu’s looked great! This vlog made me so hungry! We passed the mini-golf! We tried it a few weeks ago with the kids in FL and they weren’t completely into it 🤣. Now I can see what you are talking about with Cobalt’s! The food, the atmosphere! Looks amazing! We saw dolphins but didn’t take a cruise - how cool! You were so much closer! Loved this vlog so much! 💕❤️
I would PASS on LuLu's food is just "ok" more of a tourist trap, but the kids may like it.
Next stop Louisiana!!!
Cool, wish i would have known you were going there. I have an uncle that lives in Gulf Shores
yea, sadly these videos are posted, weeks after the fact.....
@@Parr4theCourse are you going to fly there anytime soon now that you hopefully have the plane back
@@logicalspark3496
Not sure, we are heading back to Miami again next….
@@Parr4theCourse thats cool. I messaged you on Facebook
