Mesa and Phoenix: Markets, Food Trucks and The Apache Trail
We always have fun throwing out the phrase "we get around" but while staying in Mesa, Arizona we definitly lived up to the self proclaimed reputation.
This was one of those places we drove so much we almost proclaimed ourselves offical car tourist too! Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration, but we were super happy to have our 40mpg car! Mesa is just a short drive from the Superstition Mountains, downtown Phoenix and the famous Apache Trail. We visited all of them and everything in between.
Gulf State Park: Alabama
This was one of the biggest and most well maintained state parks we have ever stayed at. The park is 6,150 acres of land on the Gulf Coast of Alabama! The sites are nice, spacious and the park has more amenities and events than you can partake in. The sites look nice now but apparently it was hit by a hurricane and then a fire! So there are not as many trees as there once was but had someone not told us, we would have never known. The beaches were one of the biggest draws for us. There are 2 miles of beautiful beach without the string of hotels, condos, mediocre restaurants and everything else that goes along with commercial beaches.
