Sand Crabs

So when you first check into your Phoenix, whether its at night, or during the day, you want to explore a little. Of course, if you get settled in before nighttime falls, you'll definitley want to go outside and catch some rays. At most of the Phoenixes, the pool area closes at ten pm, sometimes eleven pm. If you just want to walk on the beach, look around in your condo kitchen and there will most likely be a flashlight. No luck? Ask the person at the front desk if they have a flashlight you can borrow. Something else that's great to do after settling in or eating dinner, is to grab a flashlight, a net, a bucket if you want one, and go catch sand crabs! The little creatures look scary, but are harmless if you respect them like you would any animal. See how many you can put in your bucket, and watch your friends run away as you pour them out. But make sure you do let them go before you go back to your condo because who would want to sleep with a bunch of little sand crabs walking around? I hope you try it out!

Fourth of July

July Fourth is less than a month away, so its time to start making plans, as in where to go and what to do? The Wharf is the perfect place to go, they're gonna have awesome fireworks and on top of that they'll have Montgomery Gentry playing before the fireworks go off. Not only will they have those country music stars, but they will also have special guest "Little Big Town". I would recommend buying tickets as soon as you can, and make plans to eat at The Wharf because they have many restaurants that are great and that offer many different types of food. Not a big country music fan? No worries, you can go to Gulf Shores public beach and watch for a free show. Whatever you plan on doing, make sure you get to your destination in plenty of time, because many other people will be celebrating too.

Vacation Things To Do

The great thing about our Orange Beach Rec Center is that during Summer time, they offer many different kinds of classes. They have simple art classes, culinary classes, golf lessons, and even more exciting things like sailing camp and kayaking lessons. Some of these are meant to be only single session lessons, for instance, golf. Other classes are spread out over a week's time, like sailing and kayaking camp. The best part is that these "camps'' are meant for children, some even being as young as 6, and a couple of classes you can be any age! If the outdoors sports aren't for you, the Orange Beach Rec Center also offers yoga and tai chi classes. Not interested in a class? That's okay too, because while the fam is learning their preferred techniques, you can freestyle in the fully equipped gym or game room! Here's a link to their web site, because there's a lot to chose from! I would definitely check these things out on my vacation!
