Why visit our Alabama State Parks?

January was long, and February was cold– and let’s face it - our desire to return to the sunshine is real. It’s one of the reasons we choose to call Alabama home. Right? We suffer through the dark winter of the central time zone to emerge from our homes in the light of the sun much earlier than in other parts of the country. Sure, we will have the occasional snow or freeze that pops up in early spring, but by and large, we have been liberated from winter by our decision to live here in Alabama the Beautiful. By the time you read this, we will even be going into the ever-controversial Daylight Savings Time. Whether that makes you cheer or jeer, we can all agree to delight in the fact that the sun is back out and stays out for longer.
