Had lunch with NSMA and Misunderestimator near Mobile today.

on Battleship Parkway (Mobile Causeway) in Spanish Fort.
They're on their way to Kahl-ee-fohn-ya.

Miz t. had the shrimp sandwich, NSMA had the oyster po-boy, Misunderestimator had the grouper sandwich, and I had the fried shrimp platter.

It was great meeting a couple of my favorite DUers in the flesh. Due to wretched weather, it was touch and go whether we'd make it, but the sun came out, blue skies, birds singin', the whole nine, just in time for our meet up.

A good time was had by all.

Now it's on to NOLA for the Dynamic Duo.
Look out, Bourbon Street.

1. I bet they loved it there!

Sounds like you all had a great time. :hi:

[trof]

6. They did. We did.

Hated for it to end, but felt like they needed to get on the road.
They're in New Orleans by now.

[Bouncy Ball]

2. Color me JEALOUS!!

What were they like???? Spill! LOL

[trof]

7. Smart. Funny. Warm.

About what you'd expect from a couple of Democrats, especially DUers.
NSMA said she'd gained 20 lbs. since meeting Misunderestimator.
I said "True love will do that to you."
They're having a great time.
Mis is renting a house around the corner from NSMA.
They think Miz t. is cool.
So do I.

[jonnyblitz]

13. LOL

good response..:hi:

[katinmn]

4. Sounds like a great place to meet.

Your thread made me hungry.

I'm looking forward to some seafood when I go on vacation tomorrow.

Being in a landlocked state, fresh seafood is out of my price range most times. the stuff that is trucked in stinks (literally).

[trof]

9. Where to?

[katinmn]

12. Hawaii.

I was there two years ago for work and never saw anything but the inside of the convention center.

I'm going with my 13 y.o.

[trof]

16. Aloha!

You should look up Opihimoimoi.

[KittyWampus]

5. Sounds Like Good Eats & FINE Company

[trof]

10. Very fine.

Late lunch, so we practically had the place to ourselves.
I must admit that we engaged in some freestyle Bush*-Bashing.

[Debi]

11. Is this some sort of April Fools joke?

Or are you just a total braggart?

I swear there's like three DUers living in Iowa and we all live 100 miles apart. Sucks :cry:

[trof]

28. Total braggart.

NSMA loves me, yes she does.
;-)

[Moloch]

14. You should also try The Nautilus

which is across the bay in Daphne.

Best. Seafood. Ever.

[trof]

17. There's one in Gulf Shores, just down the road, too.

[GalleryGod]

15. Saw Ed's on the Food Network Just last week!

:toast: looked great!
I'm jealous!
Glad you guys got together:toast: :hug:

[oneighty]

18. Sigh

180

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. Are they as cool in person as they are in cyberspace?

??

[trof]

21. Absolutely.

We had a great time.
Wonder if they're on the road yet?
I think Dallas is tonight's destination.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

20. You must've had fun!

I had dinner with NSMA when I was out in SOCal on business.

And that seafood place looks fabulous!

[trof]

22. I think Miz t. and I will be in Beantown for the meet-up on the 23rd.

We'll try to make it.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

23. I hope so-we missed you last time!

:hi:

You have children up here, right?

[trof]

24. My daughter (only), son-in-law, and grandson.

We're coming up to babysit while mommy & daddy go to a wedding.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

25. Oh fun! You get to spend time with the grandson!

By then hopefully the weather will be nice-and not crappy, rainy and raw like today.

[spacelady]

26. I'm from just up the road

in Satsuma, AL.  I joined DU recently, just had to give a
"Howdy Do!"
when I saw your post.  Grew up in Nebraska, absolutely love
living here near the coast, the seafood IS wonderful.

[trof]

27. Got a cousin there.

Unfortunately she's a RW repub.
Welcome to DU.
:hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

29. Fabulous!

Glad you had a good time!

[GOPisEvil]

30. Lucky you!!!

Too bad I'm in a wedding later today, or I'd have tried to meet them down the road in San Antonio.

Oh well...gives me another reason to go to LA. :D

[trof]

31. Actually, your name came up.

They were debating whether to go through San Antonio or Dallas.
I think Mis has a relative in Dallas.

[jonnyblitz]

32. I think mis used to live in Texas, if i remember correctly. nt

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

33. We LOVED you both

I'm so happy the weather cleared up so we could meet. Thanks again for lunch..now you have to come to California so we can take YOU out and get more bear hugs from you and Miz T
