“This came to me while at Gulf Shores. 

Spring Break Gulf Shores bound
Escape Wisconsin winter 
Beach sand burn and peel

It started in the early 60’s with a few families from Whitewater going to Gulf Shores during Spring Break. The migration hasn’t stopped for the last 60 plus years. Whitewater families continue the Spring migration south for the white sand beaches and to get away from Wisconsin winter. I know many of you have fond memories of your time spent in Gulf Shores, Alabama. I know my family does. 

Here’s photos from 2023.”

Our thanks to Rachel Watson and Steve Watson for sharing these beautiful photos.
