Summers in Alabama's Gulf Coast region are perfect for a great family vacation, and if the winter gets a little too chilly up north, the South is always mild. The history of the area is also rich, with the Museum of Mobile celebrating the city's 300-year anniversary, and some of the notable homes of the area are available for tours. One of the most popular destinations is the USS Alabama, winner of nine battle stars in WWII, and educational outing for the whole family. Travel a bit further inland and visit Monroeville, the hometown of Harper Lee and the basis for her novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Here you can see spring productions of the novel by locals at the Old Courthouse Museum. But, naturally, the beaches of Alabama's Gulf Coast are where the fun really starts – a tropical climate with vast stretches of sand and diverse wildlife awaits you. With all this plus golf, seafood, and shopping, you're sure to find something in Alabama.
