girl trip 2014

Annual girl trip had a new addition...baby Brody. He was great! We just worked our schedule around his naps and feedings. This time we went to Bay St. Louis on the Mississippi Gulf coast. It is a great little town that has made a great comeback since Katrina. The weather was not fabulous, but we didn't mind.

 

Our first stop was at Shaggy's on the beach

 

Warm and humid

 

Sophie found the solution to that problem.

 

Mary Grace and I solved our oyster craving problem

 

 

Rockefeller

 

Ponchartrain (parmesan, bread crumbs)

 

Barbeque

 

Next on the the rental

  

 

How many women does it take to assemble a pack and play?

 

Great bayou view. MG fishing

 

 

Great deck. Didn't get to use much

 

 

Screen porch. Did get to use much

 

Nest day...tourists in town...I'm guiding the way.

 

 

Cold and damp

 

Found a cool old cemetery . Jan photo'd Brody's first graveyard shift with Aunt Amy.

 

Then on to lunch. The special was a "pirogue" (Louisiana boat) made of a deep fried hollow eggplant filled with Newburg sauce and shrimp, oysters and crab. Kill me now.

 

 

You know a Bloody Mary is good when it is so hot that you have to put on chap stick to save your lips.

 

 

Next on to the beach

 

 

It was pretty cold by then so we didn't stay too long

 

Brody had to try the sand

 

 

Doesn't he look like he loved it?

 

Back home to puzzle and shrimp. Cooked our own dinner.

 





 

 

Ate on top of the puzzle. Getting in top shape for Beach Week puzzling. (being the master puzzler and all)

 

 

Took a tour of Lazy Magnolia brewery

 

 

Had yummy samples

 

Don't worry , Brody didn't have any.

 

Heading home we saw the most amazing azaleas.

 

 

They were huge. Since we always squeeze all the fun we can out of a trip...we stopped in Hattiesburg at one of Sophie's favorites. Glory Bound Greek restaurant.

 

Very nice ending. Get ready to read about healthy food now.
