I love the beach. We used to go to PC all the time, but its kind of gotten more of a place for teenagers in the past. However they are changing it---more condos less hotels/motels. My mother in law has friend who runs some beach houses so thats where we are going.

I really enjoy going to Gulf Shores Alabama--very clean and family oriented. NO teenagers flashing for beads and passing out drunk on the beach!

The weather at the beach has been miserable for the last few days but it's beautiful right now and forecasters say it will stay this way for the next few days. My family has been going to PC Beach since I was a little girl and I love it. Yes, there are a lot of teens and college kids down there now but it is their Spring holidays and we expect it to be crowded and crazy. Be forewarned....a PC Beach policeman was shot to death last weekend and it was the first time that has happened ever in their history and tensions are heightened. Hope you have fun with your family and enjoy yourselves !!

Have fun! That should be a really nice get away. 50 years since she's been to the beach. That in itself should make the trip fun.....LOL!

I hope you all have nice weather!

The weather people forecast that it will be sunny and clear from now until Wednesday after noon when there is a chance of thunderstorms; highs are expected to be between 67 to 78 and lows between 43 to 57. There is a red flag warning out on the beach which means the surf and undertow is up, and although they didn't say this, you may expect to have seaweed and jellyfish in the water. So, if you are interested in sitting on the beach, sunning, resting, building sand castles and such, and wading, then it will be ok. Nowadays, when the red flags are out on the beach indicating rough surf, if one goes out in the water, they will be detained, for their own safety; drownings at PC Beach make people afraid to come down so the police try to make it where it is safe.
You can access the local NBC website at www.wjhg.com for information about the policeman that was killed; it will be under More News,
Hope you have a safe trip and have a lot of fun !!:thumbsup::cool::D
