    Mississippi Braves at Trustmark Park

    January 20, 2015 - By 

    This week for Travel Tuesday, I’m sharing our stop in Jackson, MS. When we travel to Fort Worth, TX we often use Jackson, MS as a mid-way stopping point. Back in 2005, we stopped there and planned to spend the night and go to a Mississippi Braves Game. The Mississippi Braves play in Pearl, MS which is just a few miles outside of Jackson at Trustmark Park. I love going to minor league baseball parks, because they are so easy to get in and out of; more like a college ball park than a major league park with 1,000s upon…

    Biloxi, MS

    Last weekend we went to the Mississippi Coast. You see we were supposed to go see Elton John a few weeks ago in Birmingham. Rob and Drew had tickets on the 8th row and I along with another friend of ours had tickets not so close, but Elton ended up sick. So we got notification 2 hours before leaving that it was cancelled. So bummed! Rob’s been keeping an eye out for Elton concerts within driving distance that had good seat available. He found some in Biloxi on the 16th row. It was a bit pricey, so I told him…

    Military Funeral 2010::Biloxi, MS

    April 6, 2010 - By

They buried Cliff and his wife’s ashes together. My mother-in-law and my niece before the ceremony Keeping watch before the ceremony The folding and unfolding of the flag was something so intricate, yet touching. Gun salute. After the gun salute, there was a recording played of Taps. It would have been much more real if it were played live. I remember when going to Arlington National…

    Soccer Tourney 2009::Gulfport, MS

    October 3, 2009 - By 

    Last weekend we went to Gulfport, MS for a soccer tourney. We chose to stay at some condos across from the beach called Sienna on the Coast with some friends who have a son on the Drew’s team. We had a good time. Nice, clean, new condos with all the essentials. The beach is not really even worth calling a beach, but I did get some cool bird pics, which I’ll share later. We enjoyed cooking breakfast and eating lunch at the condo, not having to spend money of food. We did enjoy dinner with the team at Blow Fly…
