We don’t go to the beach with an agenda. In fact, that’s most of the point. We’re on vacation from agendas. All of you Type A control freaks who pack your leisure time with items to be checked off are out of your minds. You’re designing failure, or at least pressure to avoid it, into your time off. Folks? That’s work.
If we 1) wake up without an alarm; 2) we can hear and see the surf when we do; 3) we can visit said surf with minimal effort; and 4) we get some fresh Gulf seafood in us daily, then mission accomplished. Almost nothing else matters.
We had a great time in Fort Morgan this week. It was a bit cool, but we still got enough beach time to get a good bit of sun.
It was a great eating trip, too. For the first time we explored an Orange Beach complex, under one ownership, that includes several restaurants and shops. (We’ve still left ourselves a few to discover.)
We took a slight detour on the way home to visit the Sugar Kettle Cafe in Daphne, where the breakfast was delectable and the proprietor is my grade school classmate Michelle.
It was a marvelous trip with cherished friends. Feeling very blessed.
