We found all four dinosaurs--two are hidden in the woods, and one is on the other side of the road, which made the search even more exciting. Definitely get out of the car and walk up to the dinosaurs. Pictures don't do them justice, and it's much more fun to see them up close. The trails were easy to explore, and it was a great way to get outside and enjoy nature while keeping the kids engaged. Be sure to keep your eyes open because some of the dinosaurs are well hidden! Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area and looking for a fun, free family activity.

I first discovered this little hamlet 30+ years ago when vacationing here and sailed out of one of…read morethe back waterways into Wolf Bay. It was on that sail that I discovered Pirates Cove, home of the cheeseburger in paradise so that's one thing that's kept me coming back :-) Since retiring in the area I've discovered a lot more than the beautiful scenery and burgers but first a little history. The Town of Elberta is a small, historically agricultural community, situated 25 minutes from the Alabama Gulf Coast, 35 minutes from historic downtown Pensacola, FL and 45 minutes from Mobile. The first settlers arrived here in 1904 and the community was founded by farmers who had immigrate from Germany. I wasn't sure about the phrase on their welcome sign "für das gut leben" so I asked my dear Düsseldorf friend, Klaus-Dieter who tells me the best interpretation is "For the good life". In the 1930s through the 1940s, the town boasted a farmer's hall where dancing and singing were enjoyed, a hotel, and a movie theatre, as well as a butcher shop, grocery and drug store. Many of the residents spoke German, and St. Mark's Lutheran Church offered German-language services until 1976. Current the latest census shows fewer than 1500 residents and I've come to realize that it's a warm and friendly place that's all about community. One great example is the support the town's volunteer fire department gets with the Elberta German Sausage Festival which was started in the mid-1970s. I attend every one of them that's held the last weekend of March and the last weekend of October and features polka music, Elberta German sausage Sausage, and 250 arts and crafts vendors with over 40,000 visitors during the fall festival alone. It's a good time for a great cause. There's only a couple stop lights but there's a lot more stuff here than the size might indicate. Aside from the aforementioned Pirates Cove, there's Bamahenge, Baldwin County Heritage Museum, Lady in the Lake, a golf course, as well as locally owned and operated shops and restaurants like the Roadkill Cafe. It's also where we go to our meetings and events at Amvets. Bottom line: You can spend your days picking fresh berries at Hillcrest Farm or sampling the homemade cheese at Sweet Home Farm but don't forget Bamahenge and those cheeseburgers, it's paradise indeed.

I've stopped by frequently and my favorites things are are meals at Desmond's, a quick shopping trip at the outlet (let's not forget the photo op on the carousel) and a bite at P.S. Taco, and an OWA (town square or the park itself) date. I truly enjoy Foley's small town feel (because truly, it is small) with so many good spots and stops along the way. I always make a day trip of it when I visit. Cheers to Foley!
