What a beautiful last few days we have had.  Mild temps, sunny skys and light breezes.  I know it sounds like paradise.  i am beginning to believe it myself.  We are having a blast traveling by water and have met some wonderful people along the way.

Sunday we ventured out for the day since we had a car for the weekend, with John and Jackie, from EuFLORia.  We had planed on going to LuLu’s for lunch after church and light shopping at Walmart. LuLu’s first began as a restaurant with a tiny gift shop, a little sand for the kids, and a gorgeous view of the Intracoastal Waterway. Now, a few years later, the view is still unbeatable, but the restaurant is more than just that—it’s become a true family entertainment destination. Lucy Buffet is the sister of Jimmy Buffet and has built her brand along the Florida coast.  The food and service was great which is not always the case when visiting a tourist destination.

LuLu’s – Gulf Shores, AL    Thanks Jackie 🙂

Sunday Night Football was on our boat – Snacks and drinks were flowing.  As you can see we had Packer Fans in the house!!
Needless to say they left before the game was over – not only was it getting late – the Packers were running a little late showing up to the game.  Still a fun evening with friends under the stars along the Florida coast.  Could not ask for more.
