Hey all, just got back from a short mini vacation to Ship Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast in Gulfport, MS.

We went last year and well, we just love this place and decided to make a short trip once again to this awesome spot.

This time on Ship Island we simply took in some sun, walked on the beach looking at lots of marine life,  swam in the super dooper salty ocean, and enjoyed ourselves.

We had the wonderful opportunity to eat at Emerils it was crazy good.
I had the Gumbo of the Day
Shrimp & Grits Lazy Magnolia Beer Barbequed Shrimp with Smoked White Cheddar Grits, Crimini Mushrooms, Apple Wood Smoked Bacon, Grilled Green Onions and a Creole Tomato Glaze
and for dessert Homemade Ice Cream Trio.

We also ate at Lookout 49 again, we love this place and I highly recommend it if you are ever in Gulfport, MS

A place to eat that I DO NOT recommend and should be avoided at all costs is Snappers Seafood in Biloxi. They dont even have a website and they should as expensive as the food was.  Their food was sub satisfying and ridiculously over priced. Click Here to see what others had to say

Some other things we did, were bowling, shopping and took in two movies, The Hangover, which was super funny about 4 guys and their bachelor party in Vegas, and Public Enemies, which was about John Dillinger. The movie was just…ok, it was long and drawn out.

Well that was about it, a short mini-vacation.

Good morning and happy new year! Yes its officially 2009 now and I spent the night realxing after a long day full of activity. I started the day working on a video of our summer vacation to fabulous Las Vegas and had to stop and install all the stereo equipment Santa left under the tree for my wife.  I nearly froze to death outside today installing it all. Later when I came back to my desk I got back to the video and I used a website to polish it up. The site is awesome and its called animoto.com

You really must check it out sometime.

I know this is looooooooooong overdue since I said I would do this video as soon as I got back from Vegas and that was in July, well here it is. I uploaded it to youtube.com, it turned out a little bit grainy there after they convert the video,  hope you enjoy it!

Ok so me and the family recently went on a trip. We promised Justin, my stepson, a trip to Ship Island for his 16th birthday, which was on May 22nd. We are just now getting to it! Been busy…

I had been their when I was younger many times and enjoyed it. Best I can remember I had been in 1978, 1988, 1998, and now in 2008. Every ten years purely a coiencidence.
I wanted for my family to experience this great place before another hurricane like Katrina comes through and possibly wash it away forever. As you will see in this picture, the top is after Katrina, the bottom is before. See how it almost wiped it out?

Ship Island is the collective name for two barrier islands off the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, part of Gulf Islands National Seashore: East Ship Island and West Ship Island. Hurricane Camille split the once single island into 2 separate islands in 1969.

Having the only deep-water harbor between Mobile Bay and the Mississippi River, the island served as a vital anchorage for ships bearing explorers, colonists, sailors, soldiers, defenders and invaders.  Continue reading →

My wife recently won an all expense paid trip to Las Vegas to the Bellagio for 4 days, 3nights and let me tell you that place is amazing.

We didn’t have long so we had to hustle to see all that we could in the short time that we were there. There is soo much to see that you could probably be there a month and not see it all.

First thing we did was see a show by called Mystere by Cirque du Soleil

I can not tell you in words how amazing one of these shows are. You must see one if you are ever in Vegas. Anything by Cirque Du Soleil has to be great. Continue reading →
