Relax on the beach

We made our way to Mobile Bay and you could feel the surrounds getting more beachlike as we approached the ferry on Dauphin Island – pelicans, seagulls, and dolphins came out to welcome us to Ft. Morgan’s beach. There was an instant feeling of relief as the ferry reached the other side of the bay where the old fort controls the tip.

There is something so laid back and deserted about Ft. Morgan. Dogs run happily on the beach with the few owners that show up. This morning a man told me he had left his home in Colorado to spend Thanksgiving here – it was 15 degrees when he looked at the weather back home so he was in a cheerful mood with the sun twinkling off the water and the white sand sculpted dunes in the foreground.

Life is a beach.
