Hi Friends!
So Fuzzy and I have had our first full day on the MS coast, and it was wonderful. We walked along the beach, ate at a Waffle House, went to the George Ohr Museum (the "Mad Potter of Biloxi"), and then went to Gulfport to see Laura Sue and meet the precious wonderful Gus! It was wonderful to see her--we hadn't seen each other since we graduated from highschool. Fuzzy and Gus became best friends, too.
Then we headed back to our hotel, met up with Chad and Elizabeth and then--wait for it-- WE WENT JETSKIIING!! It was awesome. 40 minutes in the salty water; it was such a blast. I am loving this vacation. We are about to have dinner at a steakhouse, then back to the room to hang out with everyone here for the wedding. Lovely.
It is bizarre to see so many abandoned lots that once held beautiful houses and resorts and gift shops. Though a lot of the coast is rebuilt, they still have a ways to go.
I also have to give a shoutout to my brilliant brother who graduates from Grad School tomorrow!! I am so proud of you, Christopher, and I can't wait to see you on Sunday.
Yeah!
I am STILL riding that high I got from seeing you and meeting the adorable and wonderful Fuzzy. I really hope we can arrange a Chicago visit in June! Have fun the rest of your time on the coast!
Holy perfect day! I'm SOOOOOO glad you're having a blast! I bet the water on your skin and the sun on your face was just amazing. Give Christopher a big CONGRATS! for me!
