Biloxi for Grams 81st Birthday!!

What a busy weekend, taking one day off from work was definitely not long enough but here’s what we squeezed in….

Cars from “Cruisin’ the Coast” were everywhere!! Our first day there we found them at D’Iberville near the apartment complex grams lived in after she lost her house!

Mom and I decided they just don’t make cars the way they used too, they were so creative with the “fins” and hoods and tail lights back then!

With all the personality built into these old cars we of course had to find one that fit Tuck and Mill perfectly, and it wasn’t easy…

Milly first….

Originally, we thought this big “bas ass” one called her name…

Until we saw this sassy one…. PERFECT!

Check out the eye lashes….. DSC01583

Milly was definitely the hardest “due” to her many emotional personalities, but TJ was easy…   DSC01596

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO TJ!

It was soooo hot this weekend, so the weather was perfect for a good Biloxi snow ball( the best with REAL shaved ice)….  During the summer, Tara and I always managed to talk someone in to taking us down to the stand to get a snowball for the day, we always got a large and would put it in freezer to finish after dinner….

I was so excited to see the old snowball stand was still there!!

Then it was time to go surprise Grams at the salon, she was getting all “did up” for her party and didn’t know Alex and I were in town for the weekend!!

We picked up Grams and then had lunch on the water in Geauteaux near the shipyard where mom and dad used to work!

The shipyard was off limits to drive too but i caught a glimpse of it as we went over the bridge,  it was HUGE….DSC01676

I think it would be a dream to fix up this old house on the water near the shipyard…. all oak tree’s around it!DSC01684

The next day was PARTY TIME!!! DSC04596

Mom’s cousin Barbara surprised her from Virginia!   DSC04651

Our last night out we went to the Beau Rivage and Hard Rock casino and found Rob at the poker table….  not a great day for him but hopefully his luck will turn around before his tournament!
