My Husband and I went there on our honeymoon. We couldn't have chosen a better place. We stayed Gulfside. It's coming up on our 1 year anniversary and I'm finding myself missing longing to go back, except take the kids this time. I was the most relaxing time in my life, for sure. There's just enough to do, and it's a close enough drive to Mobile to shop, etc. The fresh seafood served and sold on the island is to die for. I can't tell you how awesome of an experience we had there.

I like the way you set off each section with your travel photos. I would have liked to hear more about what your family did and what they said about different activities as well.
