The day started with a round of disc golf with my Dad and Avery at Graham Creek Nature Preserve. This is a beautiful park located in Foley, Alabama, not too far from Gulf Shores. The course got very good ratings on UDisc and so I figured it was a good one to check out. The course was perfect for our trio as they had both adult and children's tee boxes.
Overall, I played really well going only 5 over par. This might have been on the best rounds I've ever played.
Next up, we went back to the AirBnB and got changed so the girls could go swimming at the pool in the Gulf Shores State Park. The pool at our AirBnB was out of order and my Dad was staying at the Gulf Shores State Park, so he invited them over to use the pool there. It was a very nice, large and well maintained pool. My girls had a blast there. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of it.
After that, the girls got cleaned up, took showers, and we went to play Mini Golf before dinner. There were a bunch of Mini Golf locations we could have gone to, but we decided to go to the Tiki's Mini Golf. This was a strange place as it was $5 all you could play, there was no staff there and you paid using the honor system. The course was a little rundown (probably not cleaned up from the winter), but still a lot of fun.
After mini golf we went over to dinner at Lambert's Cafe. The girls have heard me talk about going to Lambert's for a while. My wife and I had gone there when visiting my brother when he was stationed in Pensacola, Florida. Not only did I rave about the fried okra and they threw rolls around the room. They could not believe that the servers would seriously toss rolls in the air around the dinning room. So we had to make sure we took them there. Between the awesome food and the entertainment of rolls flying in every direction, the whole family had a blast!
For those who have never seen the roll throwing in action, here's a view of things.
This server was dropping some dimes out there!
Here's the carnage of a roll tossed to our table and fumbled on the floor. No one took ownership of who dropped it even though most believe it was Norah.
As you can see Norah was pretty full when all was said and done.
After dinner we dropped my Dad off at Gulf Shores State Park and said our goodbyes. He was leaving early the next morning to head out on the road. It was a a really fun day and I am so glad that Lambert's lived up to the hype for my kids.
