Top Ten Things to do in SoWal

[kathydwells]

I just found this thread and thought I would add my top 10 to the list.

1. The first look at the ocean after year of being away from it for a year. There is no other feeling in the world. Looking out at that great blue miracle with my twin sister, and my wonderful son. We watch for the dolphins that sometime greet us upon our arrival.
2. Smelling the fresh "ocean scent", I like to call it that.
3. Meeting my friends, that I have not seen for a year, to spend a glorious week with them at Seagrove Village and Motel.
4. Opening up our sliding door and listening to that wonderful "sea sound" early in the morning.
5. Rising with a warm cup of coffee to enjoy on the beach in the wee morning hours.
6. Spending time at the beach with my friends and family.
7. Watching the most beautiful sunsets of anywhere in this world.
8. "Happy Hour" at the pool with all my friends and family.
9. Eating breakfast at the Wheel House restaurant.
10. Eating our last meal at Seagove Village Market the day we leave, not to return for another year.

I really need to live here !!!!

No, because every now and then I remember when I was younger and didn't live at the beach, and what a thrill it was to plan, journey, arrive, stay, and then sadly leave. It's just a millisecond of nostalgia that you reminded me of. I'm sure you won't shed any tears for me.

No, Kurt I won't shed a tear for you, as I am sure you didn't for me. I do envy you because you can, everyday, see the things that I can only dream about until that yearly visit. I hope I never take it for granted that I am able to enjoy this special place in the world, and I hope that you always remember and be thankful that you are actually "living" in the most special place in the world. I am glad that I could take you back to that place when you were younger. I hope that I am giving my son the same precious memories. He is 11 now and we have been coming to your area since he was 3. He loves it as much as I do! Take Care !!! Oh, and drink a cold one for me tonight as you are watching the most beautiful sunset, breathing the "ocean smell" and listening to the "sea sounds"....See you in June !!!! YEAH !!!!!!!

Crappy sunset tonight, rain, and red flag day. However, a crappy day at the Beach I will take. Not really a crappy day, just not a good sunset. Somewhere on this board is a thread for fun things to do on a rainy day at the Beach. Let's just say I did a few of those today.
