Foley Alabama 

We enjoyed some much needed quiet and rest after a super busy time in Florida. During our stay in Alabama we gorged ourselves twice at an awesome southern restaurant called Lambert’s. There the food is served “pass around style”.  They have servers walking around the restaurant with big pots of steaming southern food, while yelling out what’s in the pot.  If you want some of it you simply hold up your plate. This is in addition to what ever you already order.  But the best part of Lambert’s are their rolls which are served via an over hand throw.  If you are not the best at catching and it happens to roll on the floor they will just chuck you another.  And the highlight is that if you ask your server to pitch one at your husband’s head, they will actually have the gull to do it.  So we left Alabama with our tummies full (a bit over full, truth be told) and memories full of laughter made. 

Alabama Gulf Shores 

The gulf shores beach of Alabama has surprisingly white powdery sand and crystal clear water (actually, many compare it to Hawaii water) but the week that we were there was just to cold to really enjoy it much.  We went on a short walk on the beach, but, the kids spent most of their down time in the Jacuzzi.

We also celebrated Valentines Day with a sugar high provided from a massive recess piece heart candy. Probably not the best idea when having a 4-hour drive ahead of us but nothing a little I-pad time couldn’t sooth.
