       Below is a couple more things that we did yesterday. Enjoying more of this area. We wanted to check out this Maritime and Seafood Museum in Biloxi and enjoyed it for a couple of hours. It was destroyed by Katrina in 2006 and rebuilt opening in 2014. We were unable to enjoy in previous visits. 

admission $8:00 for seniors and well worth it

This was from the 1960's
so many wonderful displays and videos to enjoy

poplar mechanics published plans for this in the 60's very fast
homemade only 8 feet long

     Then a complete video and the history of this schooner NYDIA  the centre piece of this museum . Over 118 years old and completely restored what an amazing boat.

     Lots of other boats here on display mostly restored and fun to read about and view.

very similar to the Boat we had in the 1960's 
at our cottage on Georgian bay

     So much interesting information about the seafood industry.

this machine was invented in the 1970's and
could clean 1,000 lbs of shrimp an hour

the NYDIA form the second floor

information on Crabbing and oyster
harvesting

     Then on the 3rd floor we enjoy a large informative video of the devastation that was caused by Katrina, and Camille  A lot of news stories and live coverage from back then.  Amazing the damage done and how these massive floating casinos were washed ashore and across the highway.

      After here we drove along the lakeshore (HWY 90) to view some of the Live Oak Tree art that was carved from the remnants of destroyed live oaks after Katrina. These are in the median of hwy 90 and were carved by a couple of chainsaw artists.

        Then on our way home we stopped in at Quality Poultry and Seafood , a wonderful seafood market with lots of fresh and frozen varieties and foods. We have been here before and wish we had more freezer space but did pick up a few tasty items to enjoy.

Back to today

        Still cooler but no wind today and a nice sunny morning. After an early morning with some coffees and computing I took a nice walkabout for a couple of miles, enjoying the sunshine about 7 am, love the early morning sunrises. This be our last day here so we can just enjoy the warm sunshine and puttering around before we make a short drive to Louisiana in the morning with a couple of stops along the way.

interesting sunrise this morning 

my walkabout took me around the park
past the playground on a nice walkway

past the beach

part way around the lake is nice

    On my way back checked out the laundry room all new machines very nice. They are cleaning up this park. Now if they could redue the washrooms and get rid of some real old trailers this would be a very nice park.

all nice new machines

      Another walkabout this afternoon I found the culprit here that is feeding all these ducks and geese.

lots of food out for these guys almost fighting over it!

         Our relaxing afternoon in the sun and the shade , it was a wonderful 70F t shirts was the way to be almost put my shorts on bit did not want to take my runners off. But we did get to enjoy a few hours outside enjoying the fresh air, sunshine reading, now this is the life. Checked our tires and oil, dumped out sewage ready to hit the road in the morning.
        A local neighbour came by to chat for quite a while. always love meeting the local people that live in this area so interesting to talk to.
        Because its gets dark earlier we have an earlier supper. Tonight a small pork loin roast and the crabmeat stuffed potatoes we picked up yesterday to go with a small salad.

about an hour on our Weber Q 100 done to perfection

these were amazing !

added some homemade applesauce we got from Suzie's Dad
and had a wonderful meal.
leftover pork for lunches, perfect!

           That was our wonderful relaxing last day here, been 4 days, we are ready to move on down the road again, not far but moving.
        Thanks for stopping by and hope your enjoyed your day as well.
