Last vacation of summer!!! We left this morning with an extremely full car and headed south to the the Gulf of Mexico!

Traffic was bad for a Saturday but thanks to the peach pass we drove right on by everyone else!

My best friend of 20 years is turning 40 and we are celebrating! We have rented a house on the gulf coast in Mississippi and are spending the week there! We are a little bummed because of the bacteria in the water but we will make the best of it!

When we arrived there were 100’s of pelicans everywhere, the water was lapping the shores and the sweltering Mississippi heat engulfed us!!

But it’s beautiful!!!!

Our house also backs up to a fresh water stream/swamp 😳 with crab 🦀 and fish in it! The girls went right to work catching crab and much to their delight tiny shrimp too!! 🦐

Andrew and Alan tried to catch some fish but weren’t nearly as successful as the girls!

Our house has a lower deck with Pool, ping pong, hammocks, kayaks, crab traps, a fire pit and a dock to fish and crab off of!

After dinner we headed to the beach to see if any crab were out, there were tons!!!!! The girls were so excited to catch some! It was a ton of fun!

Now it’s time to see if we can catch some in the freshwater! The girls and Mich baited the trap and tossed it in! We’ll check it in the morning!!

We’ve only been here 5 hours and we’ve done so many fun things! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!!!

Here’s to the nights that turned to mornings with the friends that turned into family!
