Elba, Alabama

Really this should be enough said...but it is a little side story in our adventure down to the beach.

Ben's Mom, the lady we are renting from, got Ben to warn us that Enterprise had a large detour, so you can go through Elba to get to Panama City. So we took the advice and went through Elba.

As we approached Troy, it was still an hour till lunch time for the girls and they were happy watching Baby Einstein, so instead of stopping in Troy where there and 15 places to eat, we decide we will just stop in Elba, there has to be places to eat right.

Yup, we were right...but there was just one place (at least we were willing to eat at), good ole BK.

So the girls needed to eat and needed to be changed, so we stop. We walk in sit down and start to feed the girls, pretty normal, then once we finished eating it was like the told everyone in the back..hey they are done eating. Twins must be the biggest thing to come through there in quite some time. About half the staff came and talked to us and invaded our personal space like the children were there own all while we were trying to eat our meal. One lady in particular said at least a half a dozen times, I just cannot believe how fat they are. Personally I know our girls have the chunky arms and legs, but they do not have fat tummies or anything and we are not over feeding them, so come on people...most likely it is rude to use the word fat. We got some random story about how one of the workers was a god mother to triplets that were born naturally 10 weeks early and did not have to be in the hospital (somehow I find it hard to believe...but we went with it).

So we packed the girls up and got out of town, an entire two miles later :). It was an experience, so next time you are in Elba and you have some twins on board stop by the BK, you will enjoy the unwanted attention :).

Oh that is sooo funny and sooo "small town"! Didn't you at least stop by the Krispy Kreme? (Is it in Troy or maybe Dothan?)

Yes...I should have warned you that Elba basically has 2 stop lights and then you are passed it. :) Funny story though.
