Mississippi

Sorry, but I do have an update to our stay in San Antonio. I saw Fire Flies for the first time while we were there. Cheryl insisted I add this to my blog so I don't forget! LOL

We left Louisiana May 5th and moved east to Pass Christian, Mississippi where we stayed for a week.  While there, we back tracked to New Orleans, LA and did a lot of sight seeing. We went to Cafe Du Monde, the Original French Market Coffee Stand. They are VERY WELL known for their Cafe Au Lait and Hot Beignets (French Doughnuts).   

SOOO GOOOOOD!!

This was the line to get into the Cafe . There was a line just as long for take-out only

Cheryl went in the side door, found an empty table, waved to us, so one of the waiters came and got us out of line and took us to the table!!! But when we were done, she made sure the people standing in line got our table.  LOL

There are some very interesting people walking around New Orleans. We even saw Santa Claus on vacation.

Santa in Disguise????

Parts of New Orleans reminded me of Disneyland!!!!

We took the trolly to Mardi Gras World only to find out it DIDN'T GO ALL THE WAY to Mardi Gras World. So we took the trolly back to the car and DROVE to Mardi Gras World only to find out we could have caught ANOTHER trolly where the first one dropped us off and continued onto Mardi Gras World. Oh well, we are on an adventure after all!!!

Can you tell which one is Norm??

I have no idea what Cheryl is doing!!!!

One of MANY MANY BEAUTIFUL floats!!

And of course, we had dinner in New Orleans!!

Rich & I HAD to share this one; stuffed crab,catfish,shrimp,french fries,onion rings, and cole slaw

Mother's Day we all went to Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, MS.                            for a late lunch/early dinner. Can you believe it, I don't have any pictures, BUT it was a very good buffet. Rich & I lost our money very quickly in the casino, so we left and walked along the beach.

Water was warm!!

Rich walked WAAAY out there & the water was still below the knees

We then drove along the coast and was amazed at the devastation that still remains from Hurricane Katrina. Lots with just the foundations and chimneys next door to houses that were obviously destroyed but are still standing (barely), then you see the Beautiful homes that were rebuilt with pilings underneath.

Rebuilt still at waters edge

We also drove by the Katrina Memorial right there in Biloxi. 

Names of those who died and are missing and a case with items  picked up in the aftermath

Monday, Cheryl and I had a girls day out and went shopping, so on Wednesday the guys had to have a boys day out and went to the NASA John C. Stennis Space Center. I'm including some pictures BUT you'll have to ask Rich to explain them.

Thursday Morning, May 12th, we left Mississippi and drove to Robertsdale, AL. 

So now I will stop and leave you with just a few more words, "To Be Continued".
