Today was a very full day! We started out and drove to the Mobile Bay Ferry to catch it leaving at 10:15am. It is a 35 minute ride on the ferry over to Dauphin Island. The ferry can carry 28 vehicles at a time, plus other passengers and also bicycles!

After we toured Fort Gaines we had a picnic along the water and then went to the Dauphin Island Sea Lab Estuarium. There was a lot of great displays there and some interesting animals. We walked back and boarded the ferry for the return trip at 3:30. It was a really enjoyable day and I loved the experience of riding the ferry.
