I really did enjoy the white sand beach at Orange Beach, but I sure didn't need any whiteness when we got home! I was hoping for green, but NOOOO winter had to come one more time.

I wore my flip flops the first couple days and kept saying I was staying in them, but I had to switch back to my tennis shoes. Damn snow!

Alligator Alley

A swamp sanctuary offers an elevated boardwalk with a close view of hundreds of alligators & wildlife.

Start your adventure with a walk to the elevated viewing platform, where you can see over 600 alligators from hatchlings to mature adults, relaxing, sunbath...
