We have had 6 nights reserved for the end of this month at Topsail in Destin, FL since last summer. Now with the oil spill we're having to try and come up with something else. Does anyone have any idea for a good family place to go that is no farther than 6-8 hours from the Alabama/Tennessee line? The kids were counting on the beach and I was too because it's a cheap vacation. all the expense we have is the gas, campground fee, and groceries. The beach is free. Now I'm trying to find an alternative that won't cost an arm and a leg. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
