George's

So we are playing at the beach this week. 

 On our first night here, we met up with our friends, Amy and Trey at George's at Alys Beach.

I love this little community. It is like a hidden little gem on 30A. The food was great. All fresh and local. We had wood grilled grouper and fried oysters, medley of potatoes and a great salad with homemade lemon vinaigrette.

As wonderful as the food was, these friends made the meal priceless.

We don't get to see each other often, but love our time together. Something about friends that just know you...and who have known you since fourth grade. Again, priceless.

Our other priceless possession, this little guy.

Looks pretty cute, right.

Well let me tell you what this little cutie did. So he had been really good throughout dinner. Sat there almost an hour and a half. Again...really good. But then (clearly not getting enough attention in his little mind) let out a shrill scream. He was very proud of himself. So proud that he got a round of applause from the entire restaurant and a few whistles and laughter. Oh my. We were those people with THAT child. 

It was mostly the generation of grandparents eating and they just laughed and said they had been there and we were definitely more disturbed by our son's behavior than anyone there. One lady brought him stickers and another a blinking frog (can you tell they were grandparents?).

Amy and Trey, y'all were very sweet to put up with us. We are not your typical date night...but Owen sure had a good time.

In the meantime....we plan on soaking up this view.

The weather is a little cool, but we have big plans in store. A trip to the Gulf Aquarium, breakfast at Mike's diner, riding rides at Pier Park, playing in the sand, swimming in the pool, and eating lots of good seafood. More posts to come.
