Gulfport Beach

We decided to pack up the kids and head to the beach yesterday. We drove to Mississippi and headed up Hwy 90....nothing but 26 miles of sand and water. It really was breath taking. We set up the canopy and let the kids play in the water. We hadnt been there long when it started thundering....and lightening....so we packed up and headed back up the beach toward Long Beach and Pass Christian...where it was clear of rain...and we set up again on the beach. We got in about 3 hours before the wind picked up....and we had to bring down the canopy. It would have been ok....but it was hard to keep everything from flying off. So after chasing the lid to the cooler....and the toy pail...we decided to call it a day...as far as the beach goes.

We headed into Biloxi...and went to the Hard Rock Cafe.....this was a first for all of us. It was such a neat environment....lots of rock and roll history everywhere. This one happen to be a hotel, casino and cafe. The food was good....a little over priced...but I guess you are paying for the name.

We began our trip back home....and stopped in at Souviner City....to pick up a few momentos of the trip. Well I was thinking T-shirts, cups, or maybe even hats....but instead we came home with HERMIT CRABS. They had the coolest colored shells....so we let the kids pic out there favorite....and even Keith and I got one.

It was nice day vacation.....the kids loved it...we all enjoyed being outside on the beach...and playing in the warm water. We hope to make it a weekend trip next time!
