The actual 22 story resort offers waterfront suites overlooking Deer Island and the Mississippi Sound. It also boosts spacious rooms, luxury suites and numerous amenities Continue Reading

While some couples plan a "date night" regularly, my husband and I opt for a date DAY. We find the kids would rather bum around the house during the day and less inclined to tag along if it cuts into their lazy weekend routine. I have teenagers so they are either non-stop on the weekends or become vegetables on the couch come Saturday morning. Recently my husband & I started our date day by visiting a local brewery in Mississippi. Although I live in Southeast Louisiana, the Mississippi Gulf Continue Reading

The Rebirth of the Mississippi Gulf Coast #BayouTravel

More than one million people in Mississippi were affected by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and 49 counties were declared federal disaster areas.

They had lost their neighborhood structures, and in some cases the only attractions were the large, hulking casinos on barges in the bay that were taking over. Because nearly everything needed Continue Reading

Seize the Day….Trip: Trips to Include on Your Next Road Trip – #MsGulfCoast Edition #BayouTravel

When my family moved to S.E Louisiana our summer, like many local families included short trips to Bay St. Louis and Waveland, Mississippi. My father worked off shore for several weeks at a time so my mother and her friend would take our families to the coast for quick beach trip. There were times we would spend the night in a local hotel with both of our families or drive back the same evening. So naturally summer wouldn't be complete without taking my kids for a few day trips to the area to Continue Reading
