Alabama Gulf Coast Events
School might be back in session for the 2012-13 school year, but the Alabama Gulf Coast is keeping the entertainment going all through the fall for the adults. To celebrate my kids getting out of my hair, I’m heading to the Gulf Shores and Orange Beach area along the gulf coast for a bit of dancing and relaxing without having to hear “Mom, are we there yet?” or “Mom, can you buy me this?”
With Labor Day weekend just around the corner, there are some wonderful travel deals and packages to be found, so check out these upcoming events and plan accordingly!
