Y’all know how I don’t like to be on the gulf coast when big storms are coming. Until the hurricane passes, I usually go up the road a ways to Mississippi. On one of those trips, I stayed at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park right in Jackson. It’s a beautiful park right on the Pearl River.
But, wait! There's more...One of these Mississippi lighthouses is in Biloxi and I thought the other was in Gulfport…. But when I Googled did my extensive research, there is no light listed in that area – at least as far a Google is concerned.
But, wait! There's more...A is for Alligators B is for Bama (aka Alabama) There are alligators in Alabama. Hi, I’m still here. Sorry it’s been so long. It’s taken me a long time to write a post because I’ve been stuck on what to write about this one and the next. While both … But, wait! There’s more…
I’m pretty sure I was drawn to this place for a reason – the Cheezy Americana energy is strong. Like the Force is strong in the Star Wars’ Universe. Goofy roadside attractions are all over: Lady in the Lake, Dinosaurs in the Woods, Knights in the Woods, World’s Largest Sundial, Caesars Palace fountain.
But, wait! There's more...If a cat is petrified and dead, was it scared to death?
(Ahahahaa! I crack me up!)
Seriously, folks, there’s a petrified (dead, not scared) cat in Pensacola. No, I’m not talking about Pye, my bi-polar feline companion for whom I occasionally consider finding a new home… she is alive and well and scratching the crap out of my furniture.
I am talking about a dead cat on display, no less, in a museum. Yup, right here in the good ol’ USA can you find such treasures at the local museum as a petrified (dead, not scared) cat on display.
But, wait! There's more...The Tardis in Pensacola INTERGALACTIC Airport. Pensacola Beach is also home to a couple UFO houses. What is this universe coming to?
But, wait! There's more...I highly recommend seeing the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast by helicopter! The company was Orange Beach Helicopters. The guides were great! Very polite, and informative. I would definitely go again!
But, wait! There's more...Ah, how I love fake Stonehenges. You may recall my visit to Stonehenge II in Ingram, Texas. The town of Elberta, Alabama, not one to be left out of the Stonehenge fun, proudly displays a 1/3-scale fiberglass Stonehenge. Lovingly named “Bamahenge”, it is one of the coolest tourist attractions in … But, wait! There’s more…
In addition to watching the Blue Angels, there are many cool things to see and do, not the least of which is the National Naval Aviation Museum. The museum is massive and takes two to three hours to complete – and it’s free! Got to love the free.
But, wait! There's more...The sugar-white sand beaches are loaded with amazing sea shells, some as large as your palm, others the size of your thumb, the kind of shells you see for sale in souvenir shops. On the beach, they’re free for the digging. I recently got to dig for shells with a couple friends. I felt like a kid again, looking for perfect shell treasures, and running to my friends to show them my find.
But, wait! There's more...
