Exploring the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Gulf Beach Resort where we are spending March is right on the Gulf. While we are now far enough West that we don’t get sun downs, being on the Gulf is still awesome. We are actually across Highway 90 from the water, but the Resort did a nice job of building an elevated deck, where we plant our buts every sunny afternoon for spectacular views and some Scrabble.

Hopping across the road we learned that we are actually on the Mississippi Coastal Birding Trail. There is a paved trail just inside the sand that we try to walk on every day that it is not raining. Luckily, so far, it has only been raining about 20% of the time.

In Miramar Beach we didn’t see many of the prettier water birds – we mostly saw Pelicans and Gulls. We were pleased to find that along the Mississippi Coastal Birding Trail, there were lots of Great Blue Herons, as well as other birds that we always enjoy seeing. At London Beach we spotted three Snowy Egrets. This guy didn’t seem to care that we got really close – either that or he was posing.

We remembered that Landry’s always posts a $25 birthday credit to our loyalty account, so I looked it up, and there it was. So, we headed to the Golden Nugget and used it for a nice meal at Lillie’s, a Landry brand we had never tried before. While on the Mississippi Coastal Birding Trail we spotted a restaurant, we thought would be fun, but we didn’t get $25 off there. Maybe one day we will still check it out – it appears to have great views!

So, on National Margarita Day, the Woman got a Margarita. Then when National Egg McMuffin Day arrived, the Woman got an Egg McMuffin. So, when National Day of the Woman gets here, what do you think I might get?

Talk to you soon.
