Sun at the Beach

After our visit to Vicksburg we drove down to Long Beach MS.  We met up with our friends the Chatwins and shared the rental house very close to the beach.  The house was really nice and worked out perfectly.  We played on the beach, went to a local food dive and took a shrimping tour.  Benson loved the beach the first time we went there it was chilly so I was not going to let him in the water but he decided otherwise and was freezing with purple lips but would just keep going back in.  The second time we went the weather was warmer so he really got into playing in the water.  The place we went to eat was called Darwell's cafe.  We sat outside and listened to a live band it was a fun atmosphere with mediocre food.  The shrimping tour was really fun.  I was pleasantly surprised with how good it was.  They took us out just trolling along pulling a net and talking all about shrimping and then half way through the trip they pull in the nets and show you what they caught and talk about all of that and all the places to go get good fresh seafood.  Along the boat as well there were dolphins following us so it was fun to watch them.  After they had talked up the seafood so much all of us non seafood lovers decided that we had never had fresh seafood so we should at least give it a try.  So we went down to Aunt Jenny's and ordered some fried shrimp and some shrimp creole.  It was better than any seafood that I have ever tried but it was still not my favorite.  Benson seemed to like it and Bret agreed it was better than anything he had before.  I was not ready to leave this fun place.  I was so glad that we went!
