Outdoor Wednesday at the Cyprus Inn-Plus a Reminder!

Outdoor Wednesday is hosted by my friend, Susan of A Southern Daydreamer.

Last Thursday my mother and I had some business in Tuscaloosa, so we were excited to be able to have lunch with my son ("Bama") while we were in town (my eldest son  attends the University of Alabama).
I had only one resturant on my mind that day...and it just so happens to be just across the river from my son's dorm.....The Cyprus Inn Restaurant.


Beautiful riverfront views combined with quality southern cuisine and friendly service has made Cypress Inn Tuscaloosa's premiere casual dining establishment. Speaking of views....this was the view outside from our table inside.















Though there are also beautiful views from the outside seating....














Offering an extensive menu, there is something for everyone. On that particular day, I ordered a new salad to the menu, Apple Salad. It was divine with fresh salad greens, bleu cheese crumbles, pears and a honey lemon dressing. It was so fresh and the dressing so light and a wonderful accompaniment to the salad. I also got the soup of the day, potato cheese. It was delicious as well. My mother ordered their signature split rolls with prime rib and french fries. It must be delicous, aside from being one of their signature dishes, my mom orders it every time we have the pleasure of eating at the Cyprus.

After our meal the three of us walked a down to the river and took in the scenery. Bama then had somewhere he wanted to take us...or rather show us. It was a "cave" area wheere in last week's cold snap, er-Artic Blast!- massive icicles had formed on the sides of the caves exterior.  It was gorgeous!

Here is Bama, trying his best to hide from my camera. Since he hit puberty in middle school, he hides from my camera. He does not "want his photos on the internet". I guess I should be glad? But as a blogger and photographer, you know this is hard for me. But this photo doesn't count. One couldn't recongnize him in a line up, not that he is running from the law or crazy ex girlfriends.  He is a good boy. Don't tell him I said that.
Here he is holding up one of the huge icicles.





















Here is the entry to the cave:
