Family Fun and Leisure Learning Thursday, May 6, 2021 @ 1:35 PM Summer is here, and with many COVID restrictions lifted, many American families, including mine, are hitting the road for a little bit of R&R. Instead of our usual beach destination, we visited somewhere with natural beauty, history, and fun for all ages – Alabama’s Mobile Bay area. Seascapes and seafood The state’s oldest city, Mobile sits at the head of Mobile Bay, a shallow Gulf of Mexico inlet. The bay separates Mobile from smaller, eastern shore towns of Spanish Fort, Daphne, Fairhope, and Point Clear. Accordingly, we began our Alabama escape in Spanish Fort.
