Fall on the Coast

Hey to everyone out there. In case you're not savvy on weather in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores around this time of year, I just want to let you know that it can be pretty back and forth. Even though it's the beginning of Fall, our weather can be in the lower 90's one day and the 60's the very next day. But don't be discouraged from going out to the beach if you step out onto your balcony and feel a little chilled. This time of year, the weather can sometimes be considerably cooler, but if you just simply step out onto the beach, you'll find that the temperature is actually pretty comfortable, and you should warm up quickly. Don't worry sunbathers! It's not time to pack up your swim suits just yet!

Bayfest

Bayfest is here again, this very weekend, the 3 day music festival will be celebrating it's 15th birthday in the heart of Mobile. The music festival features artists that cater to everyone's tastes. For example artists who will be playing live, include: 3 doors down, akon, alan jackson, jon miller band, steve miller band, stone temple pilots, t-pain, and a bunch of other artists along with those. When/if you go, you should know that the shows go on rain or shine, and don't forget to bring a lawn chair or some blankets so you can sit down in-between concerts. They also will have carnival-type food so don't worry about packin a sandwich. Tickets are $35 for a weekend pass, and $25 for a single-day pass. This is a chance you will not want to pass up, considering all the aritists that are gonna be there! I'll give you a link to the official website for more in-depth information.
