Mobile the Rest of the Night


December 15, 2018

The Rest of the Night in Mobile got a little Fuzzy

There were a lot of places in downtown Mobile that we visited over the next several hours for our one night in downtown Mobile, Alabama. The evening did get a little fuzzy, but I remember our route pretty well. We left the Mobile Carnival Museum and headed down Dauphin street to Dauphin's so that I could show everyone the view before it got too dark. We were not dressed for dinner (very fancy place) but we felt comfortable enough to have drinks and appetizers at the high-top tables in the bar section. The walls are glass top to bottom around pretty much the entire place so you have an amazing view in almost any direction. Plus, the appetizers were affordable and very good.

After Dauphin's, I took everyone over to the Battle House hotel where we took photos around the lobby Christmas tree and then snuck up to the rooftop pool which was closed but at least I got to show everyone another view of Mobile.

We walked St. Francis Street back towards our hotel and stopped for more food and drinks at Firehouse Wine Bar & Shop. It is a neat little place off the beaten path just a block from Bienville Square. After Firehouse, we walked back to Dauphin Street where Kayla thought we would go to a hookah bar but it had apparently shutdown years ago and only the sign remained. We found the Cigar Bar next door instead and met Leroy, its owner, in the humidor. I remember Levi bought some high-dollar cigars and we all had probably our limit for drinks. That did not stop us though. We reluctantly left the Cigar Bar and made our way over to The Temple Downtown for a Spinx photo op and then more drinks at The Bar Downtown Mobile. April and Kayla danced the Wobble. I think I have video of that, too.

Back at the hotel, we did attempt a seance although none of us had ever done one and nothing came of what we tried. We clearly needed Kevin C and Pam L. We had a great evening, but I was in bed by midnight (no shame there; only wisdom).

April, I hope you had a great time and maybe this blog post helped bring back some memories of this one night in Mobile. Share it with all of your teacher friends.

Pretty sure this was our last bar before our Malaga Inn Seance.

And then I was first to bed. Winner!

Mobile Mardi Gras Party 2025

2025 was a great year for my Mobile Mardi Gras Weekend Party.  The weather was chilly, but not too bad. I had rooms 10 and 11 in the Fort Conde Inn. April and Dan got a room in the main house thanks to Wes having some cancellations from his group (Wes has a girlfriend now, Jenny; and we are waiting to hear of an engagement). My two rooms were full with Momma and Jimmy, Troy and Polly and Kevin. Olivia and Zoey stayed Saturday night in April and Dan's room. Brendan and Kayla showed up briefly Saturday and Sunday, but they had a ball in Daphne Saturday night, so they stayed with Kayla's high school girlfriends. Kelsy, Matt and their kids could not make it this year. They had just gotten back from a Carnival Cruise out of New Orleans, so Matt needed to get back for work. I do not think anyone else showed up Friday, Saturday or Sunday - I think I'll invite fewer people next year. Maybe just to people who have actually made an appearance over the years. Today is Fat Tuesday and ...

Mardi Gras Mobile 2023

  2023 Mardi Gras was an awesome weekend with my family and friends. There are plenty of pictures to share with you on this page. Here is a recap of the weekend's adventures. Join us next year if you get a chance.  The weather was forecast to be cold and rainy all weekend, so I took my duck boots (great decision). Again, I rented 10 and 11 at Fort Conde Inn which are the two big rooms downstairs and upstairs across from the main building. Only April, Dan, Kelsy and Kash joined me Friday night. Everyone else came in Saturday morning.  April, Dan and I missed the Friday night parade. We ordered late at the Fort Conde Bistro and did not realize the parade was going to be over so soon. The three of us did try to catch the parade as it looped back into downtown, but April complained that we were running too fast and that her calves were burning. In all honesty, Dan and I thought we were just walking normally. We did crash a private party on the way back to the inn. We cau...

Mobile Carnival Museum

December 15, 2018 Mobile Carnival Museum We left Malaga Inn walking towards Dauphin Street. The Mobile Carnival Museum happened to catch my attention so I brought everyone over to tour. The museum is on Government Street and has the large Mardi Gras jokers on the porch (we should have gotten photos with those guys). I've passed it many times. I'm glad we stopped to take a tour. This place has plenty of history and memorabilia. We watched a short movie first. The lady that started the movie gave a short history/intro before it started and she did a very entertaining job. My favorite part was about Alabama becoming the Republic of Alabama (we all cheered at this), but it only last for about nine months because the politicians could not figure out how to keep us going instead of fattening their own pockets (tru dat, we all sighed). After the movie, we took a self-guided tour of this two-story museum. It has many Mardi Gras gowns and costumes and great insights into how ...
