At the Pier by the Harbor in Ocean Springs

Today, we went to Aunt Jenny's Restaurant to celebrate the birthday of my sister-in-law. Hubby and I went to this place about 4 years ago and we thought the food was not that great. Today made no difference. Still, we enjoyed the gathering because we wanted to be around on her birthday. After dinner, we went to the pier by the Harbor in Ocean Springs at the Front Beach and just hang out by the pier. Check out the view that I took. More to publish soon ... so, I will see you around right?

Paradise Island of Bahamas

Bahamas is one of the places that is truly beautiful and has a spectacular view. No wonder that some Hollywood stars consider this place as home in fact, Anna Nicole Smith was buried in the island. Look at the deep blue waters, so clear with birds hovering, prying on fish.Sean Connery, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta, Mariah Carey, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan has a property here as well as Nicholas Cage who owns two properties in Paradise Island and Exuma Chains.There are many more celebrities who owns a private island here. If I am rich, I would surely make this place a summer home.The place is very clean.That is Atlantis in Paradise Island, an island in the Bahamas known before as Hog Island. It is located just off the shore of the city of Nassau ( where I took the picture). Paradise Island is located on the northern edge of the island of New Providence, best known for the sprawling 'Vegas-by-the-sea resort' which is the Atlantis.Paradise Island is connected to the island of New Providence by two bridges that cross Nassau Harbour. See the picture of the bridge above.This is the Festival Place, a welcome area in Nassau Harbor.Isn't it beautiful?

Harbor Landing

When you appreciate the beauty of the places you visited, it is but normal to miss them. This was taken in Harbor Landing Restaurant in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.I love this place because of the view of the Gulf of Mexico. My favorite food is kicker, it's a side order and it taste spicy and so yummy. This place is also a yacht club. They have a huge storing facility at the other side of the building which house the boats. Today, I miss this place and the view of the beach.

Mississippi View

We will soon leave Mississippi and go back to Florida. I will miss the casinos and the restaurants that served Louisiana food, crablegs, shrimps and crawfish. Since we arrived here, all we did was dine out to different restaurants and buffet in the casinos in the area. I would surely miss that! I will miss the view of the Gulf Coast too. The beautiful view of the beach in Ocean Springs and Biloxi, Mississippi.
I took this picture at the garage area of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Biloxi. That is the busy street of Highway 90.
I will miss this harbor where people launch their boats to have a ride on the Gulf Coast area.
I will miss the many events that will take place in this area too. This is a boat race which took place in June,2010.
This is Beach Boulevard in Highway 90. The island seen at the center is called Deer Island.
And this is the best view that I love, the Harbor in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Right where I took this picture is where we park our car. Hubby and I always have our picnic lunch here.

Total Relaxation

My husband and I climbed to our van drove all the way to the beach and park. This is the view of where we are at this moment. It's 1PM and we just bought a Roasted Chicken and a Chocolate Cake and decided that we will eat lunch by the beach. This is the Harbor in Ocean Springs, Mississippi where we always frequent for crabbing and fishing activities.

The place is wonderful and peaceful. We listen to Escape Channel of our XM Satellite Radio and enjoying the cool and icy drinks. Visit this place and you will love it!

Harbor in Ocean Springs

Today, we went to the Harbor in Ocean Springs, Mississippi to unwind and enjoy the beach. My husband brought his fishing pole and there were so many people on the beach sun bathing, playing and fishing.The beach area was too windy to fish so, we last only for 20 minutes. Other people had stopped fishing already because the wind was too chilly.
There were few boats who went towards Deer Island. On the beach side, the kidz were playing volleyball and the other teenagers had sunbathing activity.

This beach is part of the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and so; this beach extend endlessly.

Deer Island Coastal Reserve

There is a barrier island off the coast of Biloxi, Mississippi called Deer Island. It is approximately 400 acres and the closest island to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It was believed that Deer Island was inhabited by the early Choctaw tribe before European settlement. It was named Deer Island because the deer would swim to it when they were being hunted. When Europeans arrived, the Choctaw were driven out of Biloxi and Deer Island.According to my husband, there was an old hermit who live there but, died in 1959. After Hurricane Camille in 1969, the place was no longer inhabited. Upon the death of Captain Baker, the owner of the island, it was sold to many people who own parts of it. The island now serves as a tourist attraction for those searching for Native American pottery and arrowheads. It is also a popular fishing spot. You can see the island from the Hard Rock garage or by the long beach on Beach Boulevard.

One day I will visit that island and I will post it here.

Biloxi Harbor

This picture was taken from the third floor of the garage of Hard Rock Casino and Hotel at Biloxi, Mississippi. These are private fishing boats and some are shrimp boats. The white island nearby is an island just emerged after Hurricane Katrina. Part of the Gulf Coast.
