A Rainy Day in Paradise


As the saying goes “into every life a little rain must fall”.  So it is inevitable that unless we want beautiful Orange Beach to become a desolate desert, we need to get some rain from time to time.  In the discussion that my brother and I have regarding half full or half empty, he has decided that I am at least ¾ full (although we haven’t agreed on ¾ full of what…).  So… what is there to do on a rainy day here in our one-of-a-kind motor coach and boating paradise? Frankly, I find the sound of rain on the roof of a motor coach or coach house quite relaxing and peaceful; especially at night time…puts me right to sleep!

With the magnificent views over the bay all the way to the Gulf from our clubhouse, there is no better place to watch a storm come and go.  It is the perfect time to catch up on that book you have been wanting to read or the movie you have been wanting to watch.  A little music and just sitting and talking with that special person in your life is also a good plan!  You never know where that might lead J.  The great local seafood restaurants nearby are still serving the freshest seafood you will find anywhere… rain or shine!  If you want to be more adventurous, the giant Naval Air Museum is fascinating and a short drive along the beach road away!

After living in rainy Oregon for a lot of years where it starts raining sometime in October and you pray the rain ends by 4th of July…I enjoyed our rainy day here yesterday.  It was about 70 degrees out, it would rain for a while and then the sun would peak through long enough for a walk about the resort or down to the marina, and then maybe a brief thunderstorm.

But then, maybe it’s just me…the guy who once played 14 holes of golf on the Oregon Coast in 50 degree hard rain with the wind blowing between 50 and 60 miles per hour…LOL!

Rain or shine there is no better place to be than here with us at Heritage Motor Coach Resort & Marina!  The rainbow is just around the corner….come join us!
