Gulf Shores, Alabama

Three times I have vacationed in Gulf Shores, a place my entire family adores. The pristine beach, great rooms, fine restaurants, theme parks, and shops fulfill our varied wants. While younger ones are on the roughest ride, upon the “lazy river” I will glide.* For them, it’s bumper cars and laser tag; I stroll through shops and fill my shopping bag. On some activities, we all agree. Beach time is prime, and sharing it is key. We choose the eateries with long buffets. All aspects of Gulf Shores deserve high praise. *a water ride consisting of a shallow pool that flows similarly to a river. There is usually just enough current to allow guests to gently ride along lying on rafts or in innertube-like inflatables December 12, 2022 for Margarita Lillico's Take Me There Poetry Contest
