If you’re reading this, hopefully it’s because you too have come to the realization that Mobile is quite possibly the cutest city by the bay. From Mardi Gras to football our azalea city is full of entertainment all season long. Today I rounded up my favorite places to go, eat and stay in the city of Mobile!
If you are planning a visit here soon I hope you see all the charm and character we have to offer. It truly is a charming place and I’m glad to have found this little gem by the water years ago. It is my home and I hope you love it too!
