Mom's Eat Free MONDAY!

Now until November 1st, MOMS EAT FREE at Spinnaker's! Yay....awesome deal. You just gotta head over and print out the coupon from their site! Here's the link
While you are there...check out their menu. They are one of the most favorite beachside restaurants, but for families...I reccommend lunch at Spinnaker...night time is a little more adult (bar) atmosphere. Lunch is family friendly and really laid back. Feel free to come in off the beach in your swimsuit (and cover up please). They offer gulf front dining and great food. ENJOY!!!
