Road Trip!
We had a girl's week at the beach. Well deserved, much needed, totally girly! Drinks at LuLu's in Gulf Shores~ if you have never been to the HomePort Marina it is a must stop when headed to the gulf. LuLu is actually Jimmy Buffett's baby sister; what a great story she has. My favorite drink is the frozen Key Lime drink! The crab claws were a little bready, the gumbo tolerable, but the atmosphere is awesome.
The best dinner we had was a big bowl of wild gulf shrimp, a salad, and a glass of chardonnay. Steamed right in our own kitchen.
We stayed at a beautiful condo on Perdido Key, I think this is the most beautiful beach in the gulf! How can you not come home relaxed and refreshed?
Glad to be back to the bloggin world~
What have y'all been up to?

Well I WAS gonna say that blogging should never take a backseat...then I saw your excuse and tasted your drink (hope you don't mind...) and I have let you off the hook.
I thought I had missed you! :) I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful trip...and you have to *live* a life to blog about one! I loved seeing the photos...I'm now craving a road trip, and some beach food!
Glad you're back safe and sound,
Andrea
Hello,

We have been trying to get a trip to Gulf Shores together, for several years. Haven't managed it yet!

Frozen key lime drinks? Oh wow, that looks so good.
Those beach pictures really help me feel better sitting in rainy and cold NJ today.
I could just sit in that last pic all day!!
Hey pass one of those key lime drinks, wouldya?
Wish I were there! Looks like you had quite a lovely time.
Sandi - it looks great. Are you making the drinks in Savannah next year?
Shabby~ Next trip to the beach and you can ride in the back seat
Andrea~ Livin is what life is all about!
Robin~ I will pop in at the frecklefarm (I just love saying that)
Pat~ If you haven't been to Gulf Shores in a couple of years you will be amazed. Hurricaine Ivan did some renovations!
Cheryl~ We picked the perfect week to be at the beach.
Early Bird~ A little Rose's lime, 43, and ice cream...Yummy!
Tut-Tut~ The blog is the next best thing.
Jerry~ Only if you and Palma have a Slow Cook Off! I could make a 'Slow' Gin Fizz.
We grew up going to Perdido Key and Gulf Shores and then Pensacola and Blue Mountain Beach. I always have a place in my heart for Perdido Key because of those good old days. Did you make it over to Magnolia Springs while you were down that way?
Color me jealous! Look at those pictures. Wow!
Glad you had some time away in a nice sunny location. Sounds fun!
