Gulfport Aysta Spring Break

Crawfish! Paul has been talking about getting some of these for weeks now. We bought about 2 pounds (people usually eat about 5 pounds a piece). We also bought three pounds of shrimp, it was great.

Jellyfish! Lindsey and I went walking on the beach and saw three jellyfish up on the shore.

Mmm! They are pretty good, just a lot of work for each one.

Here's the place we're staying at and the beach.
Here's the patio on the seventh floor of the place we're staying! So far so good, come on down Shelley, Derek, and Joey!

More Parades? St. Patty's Day in Nawlins

The aftermath...yes they throw beads and vegetables at the parade...so we scored a few cabbage!




75% Irish and 50% Finn
Crawfish boils...they are yummy and SPICY.
It rained on and off all day, but overall it was a super stellar parade!!!

Moonlight Paddle!

We went on a moonlight paddle adventure with a group of social work students and others....here's us at sunset...it was windy!
There were a lot of downed trees from Katrina and Gustav.


It made me so happy to be in a canoe again!!!
We were paddling in Gator country....We didn't see any though! We paddled back after the sun went down and we weren't near the beginning or end where the men with the large spotlights were...but 2 of my classmates saw a little alligator and at the back they saw a bigger one with like 8 babies!!! So we were in the right neighborhood, but our headlamps weren't strong enough...

This was honestly my perfect day....relaxing, not stressing about school and paddlin with my honey and watching the sun go down. I really enjoy these times when I don't have something due or have to be at my internship or work study or running around like a chicken with my head cutoff!
