Family Reunion in Biloxi, MS (part 3 & final part!)

Tuesday was a day of sightseeing.  

We even got my dad out of the casino!!

Beauvoir, The Jefferson Davis Home & Presidential Library

The eight of us piled into two cars & ventured down the main drag to see the Jefferson Davis home.  My brother, Alan, drove his rental car with my sister-in-law, my sister, Dennise, & myself.  My other brother, Steven, drove my dad's new car with my dad, my sister, Sherry, & my brother-in-law.  Steven led the way & we followed.  

We drove further than we thought we should, but kept going. 

We weren't exactly sure where the home was, but knew we couldn't miss it.

Apparently Steven didn't feel the same way!

We got a phone call from the other car, "Where is it??"  They had turned around thinking they had missed it.

We were yelling at them, "You can't miss it!  There is a big green sign & a mile of white picket fence.  You can't miss it!"

We finally all met up in the parking lot.  There were tours of the home every hour & half hour.  We had about 20 minutes to wait, so we wandered around the presidential library before the tour.

Beauvoir means beautiful view in French.  

The view of the Mississippi Sound was spectacular from the front porch!

 We gathered on the front porch for the tour.

Dennise, Tom, Alan, Steven, Dad, & Sherry!

If the day had been a little nicer it would have been fun to wander around the grounds.

I guess that is something to do on our the next trip!

 Wednesday afternoon Alan, Janet & I went souvenir shopping at Sharkheads.

 This place was huge!

Out of all the junk, oops, I mean treasures I found a replacement mug for the Clearwater Beach mug that I had dropped & broken.

This looks exactly the same as the Clearwater Beach mug, but it is from Biloxi beach!! 

 After breakfast at the Grand Buffet on Thursday morning we all headed our separate ways - back to Florida, Texas & Indiana.

This was a very healing time for me, as I'm sure it was for everyone else also.

It is so nice to have fun memories to replace the sad memories of the first time I was in Biloxi, MS.
