How about a family-friendly attraction that teaches about preservation, conservation and being a good steward of nature? Check out the Alabama Sea Turtle “Share the Beach” volunteer program. From May through October, Alabama's beaches are home to female turtles who make nests and lay eggs. Volunteers make sure the threatened and endangered species are able to nest safely. They patrol beaches looking for nests, share nest-watching duties, speak to groups about turtles and make sure that, w...

So the whole trip started out with difficulty! The rental place that the church rents through said we would have 2 large SUVs, which would''ve been pushing it for room, but that way Scott could drive one and Josh the other. They pick them up and they are some Chrystler mid-size things...we couldn't even get 1/2 the luggage in!
