Beads and Mardi Gras

Here I am once again, sharing the photos for Tuesday Travels. I would like to thank you all for visiting my post last week and for the comments. I can't wait to visit your blogs and see the places you've been to this week. These photos were taken last February when we went to Mississippi for Mardi Gras Parades in Ocean Springs, Biloxi and D'Iberville. We love visiting Mississippi because of the country setting, amazing view of the Gulf Coast, awesome beach, the taste of crawfish, gumbo and blue crabs. This particular parade was in D'Iberville, one of the biggest Mardi Gras Parades happen here. From the beginning to end, the krewes on the decorative floats throw beads to the crowd. They also throw moon pies, stuff toys, and other stuffs. Basically, the people go to the parade to see the different floats with lavish decors, catch the beads, have fun and get together with family. I am having fun here LOL.It is a big tradition in the South particularly in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.The picture above is the picture of my family.I love Mardi Gras and I love catching beads. I send those beads back home. Have you been to a Mardi Gras? Go visit New Orleans, it's spectacular! See you in your blog.

Billy Guice Veterans Memorial Park in Biloxi

Hubby and I had lunch at the Satisfaction Buffet at Hardrock last Friday and as we went back to our hotel, I told him that I should drop by at this memorial park.Billy Guice Veterans Memorial Park is located along Highway 90, Beach Boulevard in Biloxi, Mississippi just beside the Hardrock Hotel and Casino.The names listed on the memorial stones are those men and women in uniform who died during the war from different countries such as: Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines and more.Beside the name, it lists down the date, place and the operation/war they've been and their picture. This memorial park is located in a nice place with the view of the Gulf coast.If you happen to visit Mississippi, check out this place. You will not miss this place if you come out from the garage of Hardrock casino and hotel or passed by the Highway 90.

As We Head Back Home

We arrived in Mississippi around 5 PM. It was actually 6 PM in Orlando. It was still early so, we decided to drive around Ocean Springs and Biloxi. This place is our second home, the hometown of my husband. We love Orlando but, coming here twice a year gives us a happy feeling. We drove down the old house and went to the cemetery to visit the abode of my father-in-law. We missed him a lot.This is the amazing view that we always hang out when we lived here for almost two years. The Gulfcoast view is just an awesome sight! It truly brings back happy thoughts and happy memories!

Wood Carving

Hello everyone! Much as I wanted to share every details of my travel, I was just too tired when I saw the bed at night. I woke up early today and thought, I should update my blogs a lil bit.This picture was taken at Mississippi Welcome Center. Isn't it gorgeous? The bird on the tree is a wood carving. Here in Mississippi, they don't uproot the dying tree instead, they hire wood carvers. Some wood carving enthusiasts and talents offer their services and materials for free. If you visit down the Gulfcoast in Biloxi, you will see some of the amazing wood carvings on Highway 90. If you happen to pass by, drop by this place and take a look at it.
