Everyone else headed home, but Matt and I stayed through the weekend to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. Today we were back in the car with no real agenda, but to see some more of the gulf coast. We drove along the water..spotting several bayous (even saw a baby alligator)
and loved all of the colorful homes on stilts that line the waterways.
We crossed several unique bridges along the way into
Mississippi! Our first time in this state!
Our first stop was Bay St. Louis, MS.
We walked out along the fishing pier
and had lunch at this cute place...The Blind Tiger.
Back in the car to drive along the water to see gorgeous waterfront homes
and miles of white sand beaches through Long Beach and Gulfport, MS.
We spotted this cute coffee shop in Gulfport
and then fell in love with Pop Brothers across the parking lot. A husband and wife retired and opened up this popsicle shop. They had over 100 flavors and Matt and I each tried 2 while talking to the owner. They now have 3 locations and we think they need to come to SD! Maybe we will open one!
Then back on the 10 for the trip back into Louisiana. It was a great day exploring and stumbling upon cute little spots!
