Lunch at Lulu’s…

Lunch at Lulu's

Lunch at Lulu's

Today, Jan and I had a late lunch at Lulu’s on Homeport.  Lulu is her brother’s name for her.  Her real name is Lucy Buffett.

And her brother is Jimmy Buffett, the singer/songwriter.

Lulu’s has become one of our favorite places at Gulf Shores.  It’s on the Intercoastal Waterway or Canal that divides Gulf Shores from the mainland.  Most people don’t realize that Gulf Shores is an island, but actually an artificial one, since the Canal is man-made.

Besides the great food, the view of the Canal is always entertaining.  There was a pod of  dolphins playing in between the boats passing by.

We also got to watch a number of tugs, barges, and fishing boats traveling by.

After we left Lulu’s, Jan got a pedicure while I picked up some parts for another project.
 
By the time we got home we had a beautiful moonrise waiting for us.
