It is starting to feel a lot like Christmas!

In spite of the beautiful warm sunshine today at Heritage Motor Coach Resort & Marina, we are getting into the Christmas Spirit. Heather and Donna along with Linda & Lori decorated the big tree and the mantels in the Club House yesterday morning and it looks very festive!

Then, around 2 in the afternoon a dozen of us from the Resort headed for Fort Morgan to take the ferry over to Dauphin Island. Our group of owners included folks from Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, Arkansas, & Michigan! It was a fun boat ride on the small ferry (It can haul 45’ Motor Coaches) with lots of dolphins along the way. From there it was an easy drive up to the Bellingrath Home & Gardens south of Mobile. These gardens are beautiful to visit year around; but they are real special when they add over 3 million Christmas Lights (no…we didn’t actually count them… but I believe them)! They used great imagination to create the feeling of being under water with a big variety of sea creatures! Add a fire-breathing 30’ dragon, fireworks in lights, giant swans, Santa and his sleigh, and much, much more! The tour of their spectacular 10,000 sq. ft. home built in the 1930’s was very interesting; but the light show made the evening unforgettable. Wandering through the gardens enjoying the amazing lights accompanied by all of our favorite Christmas music (think Elvis, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby…). If you get the chance to see it you will be enthralled! Sharing it with Donna and our friends from Heritage Motor Coach Resort & Marina made it even more special!

This is just one more reason to come visit our one-of-a-kind motor coach & boating paradise here in beautiful Orange Beach between now and December 30th! Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! -Jim
