One of the best things about living on the Gulf Coast, is it’s beaches! Nothing like looking from a condo balcony to see the blue water and sugary white sand.
On April 20th of this year, the Gulf of Mexico waters were polluted with oil from the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon. The oil soon made it’s way to our beaches leaving the summer season a bust for tourism. This month Gulf Shores had two concerts to hopefully bring people back to the beach and let the world know the beaches are clean and open. The first concert was Friday night and the artist was Bon Jovi! The weather couldn’t have been nicer, not a cloud in the sky.
You were allowed to go in the concert venue at anytime, however, there was a gate about two football fields from the stage keeping concert goers back until that gate opened at 4 o’clock. Let me tell you, once the gates were open people started running to be the first at the stage.
I took a photo of the venue before a bunch of people got there and one before the sun went down.
Of course, Bon Jovi sang some of his hits and crowd favorites such as “Livin’ on a Prayer” and “Shot Through the Heart”. I was quite excited. Jeff even got his picture taken with Bon Jovi.
Anyway, it was an outstanding night! I’ll finish this post with a few more pictures from the concert.

“Nothing like looking from a condo balcony to see the blue water and sugary white sand.” I like the way you said that and you are exactly right.
