Looking
for Something to Do This Summer? Bring the Family to the Gulf
So
my kids are pulling the dreaded summertime “I’m bored: What is there to do?”
And I’m replying with the equally dreaded “Pick up your room and help me clean
the house.”
But
I have a very good reason for this response: We need to have the house in ship-shape
so we can get ready for our summer vacation in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach!
And
then I’ll have an even better response to the boredom query (if it’s even an
issue once we’re down there, which I doubt). What is there to do? Go to the beach. Swim in
the Gulf. Swim in one of the seven pools at Gulf Shores Plantation (or swim in
all of them!). Play tennis or basketball or horseshoes at Gulf Shores
Plantation. And we haven’t even left the Gulf Shores resort yet.
Now
let’s venture out into Gulf Shores & Orange Beach and check out some area attractions. My kids have
always enjoyed places like Waterville USA, The Track Recreation Center in Gulf
Shores, and exploring nature at places like Bon Secour Wildlife Refuge. And
this year we’ll try something new: ziplines and water sports at the Gulf
Adventure Center in Gulf State Park.
I
bet no one’s bored now.
