Gulf Islands National Seashore in Mississippi

It was a chilly night, dropping below freezing-I guess we packed our warm blankets away a little  too soon.  They’re in our roof rack back, so we’ll have to fish them out or it’ll likely be another cold night.

We bopped around the Island for a while admiring seashells, and taking pictures.  Then, we drove along a beautiful scenic route in Alabama and stopped at a cute and friendly restaurant with 25 cent oysters and chicken wings.  We had an awesome meal for two for less than $10.

Now we’re at Weeks Bay in a large, fairly secluded parking lot.  We took sunset pictures at a nearby park.  Chris is in the passenger seat holding Paws.  It was a really nice low-stress kind of day.

p.s. We stopped at the side of the road once to each pick a piece of cotton out of a field.  It was interesting to see the little seeds and imagine how hard it must have been to remove them by hand in the old days.
