Orange Beach has white sand




My last visit to the gulf coast of Alabama was my senior year of high school, back in 1993. Our family went this year and stayed in a beautiful condo on the beach for a week. It is strange to be away from home on Easter Day, but according to the locals, we were there on the first nice weather week since November. We had many options for on-site fun, and here was Douwe's order of recreational preferences: playing with cars and trucks in the condo bedroom, swimming in the indoor pool, playing on the playground, outdoor pool, beach. He did not touch the water of the Gulf of Mexico, it seemed too loud and scary. At the end of a day of fun in the sun (and out of the sun), we all enjoyed watching lots of family favorite movies, making use of the great wet bar in our condo for a daily happy hour, eating lots of good food and appetizers, and reading many books.
