We traveled to the area from Fort Morgan to see the USS Alabama. There are several large seafood restaurants in the immediate area and we chose this one. We had...
Located about an hour and a half from the Fort Morgan/Gulf Shores area, the USS Alabama is a great way to learn about our history as well as life aboard a battl...
We stayed on the peninsula and Fort Morgan was just a short drive from our resort. We opted to skip the tour, which I wish we could have joined, but we didn't t...
Since we spend most of our vacations outdoors and weren't looking for a luxury experience, this resort was perfect for us. The condo we stayed in (1 bed/bath wi...
Each day on our week-long stay in Fort Morgan we opted to hit an attraction early in the day and then spend the rest of the day at the beach or pool. I am so gl...
We pass up amusement parks for things like this and were not disappointed. Bon Secour is a beautiful but very accessible NWR with several units spread out along...
One night after a long beach day we wanted a quick dinner out. We had picked up drinks over the previous days at The Pines, which is a gas station/carryout. Thi...
We are native Cincinnatians and live just 20 minutes from downtown--which is why we don't opt to stay overnight in the city very often. However, when we do this...
Thank you both for your suggestions, especially on areas to stay. Always difficult to have context in that regard your first time visiting a place!

We spend most of our time in the National Park, but we decided to hang out in Gatlinburg one evening on our recent trip. It was the night of the super/blood moo...
My husband and I have been to many National Parks all over the country. We love having this one just a half-day's drive from our home in Cincinnati. Though we h...
This is a nice little shop to pick up snacks and drinks right before entering the park. Prices aren't bad and there is a fair selection. They even sell local go...
Pretty good food and spacious dining room. They allow you to park strollers at the front so you don't have them in anyone's way. The service was very good and t...
I skip over the novelty shops and head straight for this community of artisans every time we're in Gatlinburg. This is the loop for higher-quality, local and ha...
This is typically our favorite spot in the entire park. We usually visit the buildings, hike and then hang out at the field at the end of the road watching for ...
First, I must preface this by saying we were non-ticketed visitors. Since anyone can walk through Colonial Williamsburg without a ticket, we had planned to visi...
I've always been interested in the true version of our history--not the whitewashed movie version of it! I feel that the Park Service has done an excellent job ...
