Memory Making
Our Memory Making began when we first married and bought a summer place in 1972 in Fort Morgan. We fell in love with our area and spent countless weekends, summers and winters there over the years. We were always spending time planning how we could move from Mobile, Alabama to Fort Morgan and live there full time. Frank Jr. was born in 1975 but that did not stop our weekend trips to the beach. When he was young, we made him a comfortable bed in the back of our Blazer and continued riding the beach to play, fish and swim as often as possible. He started playing in the Gulf water at only six months old!
Year After Year…
Then came Jill…Jill began playing in the Gulf water at just six WEEKS old. We moved to Fort Morgan full-time after Hurricane Frederick in 1979, just one year later. Frank started out building beach homes. Our joke was that Frank would only build homes close enough to Fort Morgan for his extension cord to reach.
Lots of our days and weekends were spent on the warm, white, sandy beaches playing with our children, fishing and having fun with friends. Our children went to elementary school in Gulf Shores and Foley High School. We are blessed that our children have chosen to start their families here. The second generation loves our area too and always makes sure to get lots of “beach time.” We call them “water babies.” You can see their pictures in our rental guides and on the website. We have three little “beach bums” and three “bathing beauties” now! WOW, that makes six “Water Babies.”
It is fun to see them enjoy the beaches and see everything from their “young eyes.” Their favorite thing to do is dig in the sand, chase sand crabs at night with flashlights and swim in the warm Gulf water. We still all take a week and spend our vacation at our beach house together in Fort Morgan. We love having the time to be like our guests and enjoying beach time. It’s always so much fun! Frank and I still remember all the fun times when our children were small. They are times we wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. We invite you come experience the same…It is time to make your memories now, as I can tell you, “time flies and the children are grown before you know it.”
