Because Getting There is Half the Fun!

So this morning we got up VERY early, loaded up the car (think Beverly Hillbillies ... oh brother) and headed to the panhandle of Florida to spend the week on the beach.  We were super excited about the trip ... even the drive.

Last year, Torrey went on her mission trip to Pensacola.  While on that trip, they took all the kids to Lambert's in Foley, AL.  Torrey fell in love.  And insisted we MUST stop on the way to the beach.  So, stop we did.
 And then we waited ... because there was a long wait to get in.  And it was 3:45.  I think we waited about 45 minutes before we got in the door.  Totally worth it.
 Lambert's is known for throwing rolls.  Hot rolls.  The size of your head.  We became quite good at catching them.  Although they weren't throwing them too far for us ... some tables were making catches from at least 20 feet away.  Impressive.

Torrey brought her friend Meghan along for the fun.  Which was fun for all of us.  Dean really enjoyed keeping the boys away from BOTH girls.  HA!
 We also brought Gram along.  She really liked Lambert's.  The drive was hard for her ... but, she was a trooper.
 Dean and I ... and the rolls the size of our heads.  For the record, I caught Dean's roll for him.  I was VERY good at catching rolls.  I'm thinking a new tradition has been started for Christmas!
 Equally as big were the cups.  And there was one guy who was in charge of making sure we had refills.  Refills.  Um, no thank you.
If our fun at Lambert's was any indication, our week at the beach is off to a great start!  Can't wait to actually MAKE it to the beach!
