Mississippi Day 3, PASCAGOULA MARDI GRAS

Saturday morning we woke up and sadly checked out of the Hard Rock heading to Pascagoula. First stop, EDD's chili cheese burger! Best thing in Goula. YUMMY!!!! I crave ccb from Edd's all the time, and get so excited when I actually get one. Then we headed to the parade with all my friends. Rick met about 400 people, my friends from high school, my parents friends from hs, my brothers' friends from hs, and wives, husbands, kids, etc. He says he remembers about half of their names. In Pascagoula this is the biggest day of the year. More people come home for this than Christmas. We had a blast, and the weather was beautiful, Rick even got a little sunburn. After all day celebrating, we ended with Waffle House, and off to bed at Ashley & Lindsey's. It was a FABULOUS weekend, got to see all of my family, and friends, and introduce them all to Rick. He may be a little scared, but I am really glad he got to see where I came from and the people and places that made me who I am.

Mississippi day 2, Hard Rock & Ocean Springs

After getting my hair cut in Hattiesburg Friday, we headed to Biloxi. Rick got us a room at the Hard Rock Casino, and I just LOVE that place. Traci & her dad came over to have some drinks & apps with us, & get the Mardi Gras festivities started, then we headed over to Ocean Springs to Rick's 1st parade!! We met up with my little brother Ryan, & my cousin Ashley & her husband.

After the parade, we went to my dad's restaurant, The Manhattan Grill for dinner. YUMMY! I am serious, the food is SO good. If you are ever in Ocean Springs, it is a MUST!!! After dinner we went back to the Hard Rock, the beds are so comfy that we could leave. So we just rested up for PASCAGOULA MARDI GRAS!!!
