I
don’t mean to sound like a Grinch here (or whatever the Thanksgiving version of
the Grinch would be), but I don’t want to cook this year. I want someone else
to do it. Or I want to be somewhere else and do it (hint hint).
Of
course I’m hinting that I want to spend Thanksgiving in Gulf Shores &
Orange Beach this year. I want to wake up on Thanksgiving Day (and all during
Thanksgiving vacation) and enjoy a cup of coffee on the balcony of my Gulf
Shores Plantation condo while watching the sun rise over the Gulf. I want to go
for a walk on the beach after Thanksgiving dinner and play a couple rounds of
fall golf—the best time of year to play on the Gulf Coast. And I want to go
Black Friday shopping on the Gulf.
And
I may not want to cook—which is an option if we’re in Gulf Shores & Orange
Beach on this holiday. Several local restaurants will be open on Thanksgiving
Day, and if you’re going to dine out on Turkey Day, may as well do it at the
beach!
But
I’m also not completely opposed to cooking if we’re down there. Cooking in the
full kitchen of a Gulf-front condo with a nice view of the beach is a whole
other experience compared to cooking in my needs-to-be-updated kitchen with no
beach view. (And yes I’m dropping another hint here—is an updated kitchen too
much to ask for a Christmas present?)
One
more bonus to booking a vacation at our favorite Gulf Shores resort next month:
Gulf Shores Plantation’s Free Nights in Fall deal. We could stay
seven nights, get three for free. We’d get an awesome vacation and we would
save a chunk of money (hello Black Friday shopping!).
