Mississippi Vacation

This year we decided to try somewhere different for vacation.  We found a house we liked in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.  We left that night so the boys would sleep on the way and they did just that!

Picture of the front of the house.

First night we ate at Half Shell Oyster house and it was awesome!

Walking down the driveway and across the road to get to the beach.

Toes in the sand!

Needless to say the beach was not what we hoped for!

But these faces make anywhere I go worth it!

Sweet little footprints!

Just a swingin' with Nana

We spent most of our time in the pool.

Ryan and I left the kids with everyone and had a date night to ourselves.  We chose Mary Mahoney's.

Mary Mahoney's Old French House is said to be one of the South's most unique restaurants, centered around one of the oldest homes in America.

YUM!!!

Two peas in a Pod!

Three peas in a Pod! Lol Doing their favorite thing - playing on the iPad.

We love hole in the wall places to eat.  We found this place to get some authentic seafood! Taranto & Son Seafood.

More pool time

Kenny drove down to visit since we were close to where he lives and he was off work.  We found a fishing pole in the garage and made our way to the beach to catch some fish!

Check out that diaper!

Best friends for life!

So our trip looked like fun but it wasn't what we expected.  We stayed at a house where the owners stayed in the pool house the whole time we were there.  Let me tell you a little bit about the owners, Scott and Trinity Walker ....

This is an article from the newspaper:
BILOXI, Mississippi — Ocean Springs businessman and one-time mayoral candidate Scott Walker has been released from federal prison after serving one year and almost two months for public corruption convictions.
The Sun Herald reports Walker and his wife, Trinity Ryals Walker, wore broad smiles in photos of themselves together posted Tuesday on their Facebook pages. By Wednesday morning, the photo had more than 200 "Likes."
The story did not indicate how the newspaper confirmed Walker was released from the federal prison camp in Pensacola, Fla.
According to the FPC Pensacola website, Walker is still an inmate and not scheduled to be released until March 21.
In 2014, U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett sentenced Walker to 18 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the government and fraud.

The conspiracy plea came in a case that also involved his father, Bill Walker, former director of the state Department of Marine Resources. The two conspired to supply $210,000 in federal money from the DMR to the Land Trust for the Mississippi Coastal Plain, which then used the money to buy a waterfront lot Scott Walker owned.

Yup ... Prison (insert eye roll).  His house was like a shrine to himself.  It was awkward seeing their faces on a wall or in a frame every time you turned around.  I wont go into detail about the rude things they said about us or the rude things we said about them in the review regarding our stay. We just wont go there ... but we will never be back!
