A Real Cutie!
We got a photo of our new great-niece, Anisten Morgan Robinson. She’s a real cutie!
I’ve started getting calls from computer clients wanting to schedule some help when I get back to Houston. So it looks like I’ll be busy again this winter just like last year.
After coffee for breakfast, we heated our some of our Lambert’s leftovers from yesterday. And we still have enough for another meal. At $12.50 for 3 meals worth, that’s a real deal.
It was a busy morning on the phone. We talked with our daughter Brandi a couple of times working out some details of our Thanksgiving trip to Marble Falls, TX. Then we talked with our grand-daughter Piper to see if she will be able to join us in Marble Falls.
Then Nick called to check in. Sounds like he’s having fun stirring up trouble for Thousand Trails.
About 3:30 Jan and I headed out for some shopping and then dinner. Our first stop was Tallulah’s Treasures in Orange Beach.
Tallulah’s is another of our favorite shops. Formerly known as Tootie’s Yellow Broom, this is another place we’ve been coming for years.
Just a fun place to walk through, even if you don’t buy anything.
Our next stop was for dinner at The Gulf, a new place that just opened last week. Located down at Alabama Point / Perdido Pass, it’s the first business in what’s to be a beach boardwalk attraction.
Built from shipping containers, its novel construction frames a beautiful view of the bridge over Perdido Pass and the Gulf.
The only problem with this beautiful location is its history. There used to be a large restaurant/hotel on this location, and we ate here a couple of times over the years. But in 2004 Hurricane Ivan wiped it off the beach. The only thing left was the foundation.
I hope The Gulf has better luck.
Jan and I both had their Angus Burgers and shared an order of fries. Both were really good, not quite Five Guys good, but good.
And of course the view was fantastic.
Leaving the restaurant, we headed home with a quick stop at a CVS for a few things.
All in all, a very nice day.
