What Do You LOVE About SoWal?

[ls2006vacay]

Well I'm not a local but I hope I can chip in.

I love the sand and I love the water.
I love the feeling and the pace.
I love coming back to Sowal every summer that I can.
I love the memories I have of Sowal.
I love the state park at Grayton. It is my happy place. I carry it around in my mind's eye and bring it out when necessary.

I love the people that live here, and I love the visitors that get it. This community has special karma.

Mine...

Being a 5th generation native of a pioneer family, with reminders of your ancestors all around
A lifetime of white sand and salt water
Having so many people move in that you finally get your road paved
Knowing who is who and what is what, in both NoWal and SoWal, and watching with amusement as each tries to figure out how the other side thinks :funn:
The sound of the wind off the bay in the winter
Fried mullet, sailcat and shrimp ? fresh!
South Walton Seahawks (and rivalry games against the schools you and your spouse went to!)
Most of your friends are also Seminole fans
And last, but not least, the most awesome sunsets in the world.
Maybe I'll stay...;-)

Ha - seems like you are a good one to know

The sound of the wind off the bay in the winter
Fried mullet, sailcat and shrimp ? fresh!

Sailcat?? Never heard of it!

On a short list...
I like that this is a happy place with happy people. I was sentenced to a year in Dothan because of my job last year and it amazing how angry a place can seem.

I love our community and the warmth for people we have her.

the laughter of children, and the smell of coconut tanning lotion, wafting on the salt air breeze.....

I love the anticipation of coming to the SoWal for my 2 weeks each year
I love sitting in my beach chair with my umbrella reading a book, watching the waves, feeling the breeze and watching everyone have fun
I love playing house at whatever cute rental I've found for us each year
I love dining out with no regard to cost or calories-because it's vacation
I love Kat's Key Lime Pie!
I love biking/walking around
I love the shopping and the art
I love meeting locals and other tourists and running into some of the same folks time and again
I love relaxing with my hubby
I love taking naps during the heat of the day
I love drinking champagne at sunset on our last night
I love shopping for the next rental for the next year and having that sense of anticipation start all over again
