We
got a little taste of fall today in the form of slightly cooler temperatures.
It was nice—August is normally so brutally hot! I have to say, it put me in
quite the mood for fall.
It
also got me realizing that fall will be here sooner than I realize, and that
it’s time to plan our annual fall getaway to Gulf Shores & Orange Beach.
And there’s no doubt in my mind when we’ll be heading down there: during the 42nd
Annual National Shrimp Festival.
I
love this festival. What’s not to love about a long weekend full of lots and
lots of Gulf shrimp (and other delicious foods), live music, and vendors
selling arts and crafts and other goodies? I always find some unique item to
bring home (maybe a few unique items), and I’ve discovered it’s a good place to
do some early Christmas shopping.
I
already have my eye on Gulf Shores Plantation’s Shrimp Fest special: low fall
rates, plus a third night free at the Gulf Shores resort. Can’t say no to that!
