We ventured to the Mississippi Gulf Coast for some fun and retail therapy. The weather this weekend was absolutely Chamber of Commerce perfection.
First stop: Bay St. Louis
We dined at The Blind Tiger. With a view of the Bay, this spot is always a great destination for fresh seafood and scrumptious burgers.
I suggest a lil retail therapy at Bay Life Gifts. The quaint shop is filled to the brim with coastal-inspired accessories and original artwork by Tehle.
Second stop: Ocean Springs
Here, we rushed to my favorite destination, Hillyer House. J & I scored yet another original art piece by Jean McKee (more on our purchase later).
Poppy's next to Hillyer House is another fun shop filled with exciting goods. Poppy's is a wonderful shop filled with gifts, local art, and gourmet food items
We stopped and had a couple libations at The Office. It was a beautiful day to people watch, one of my favorite pastimes.
Third stop: The White House
This is our third time staying at The White House in Biloxi. We adore the hotel. The White House Hotel is a historical boutique hotel with a beachfront location. J & I ventured to the bar for happy hour, ate a few appetizers, and several martinis later we crashed. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable.
Fourth stop: Premium Outlets, Gulfport
A trip to the Gulf Coast is never complete without stopping at J. Crew, LaCoste, Polo, and Banana Republic. A lil retail therapy is always a welcome treat.
It was a great weekend of fun and relaxation. If only the weekends could last longer.
March 18-19, y'all!

You and J did have a fabulous weekend! I can almost smell the fresh air and feel the breezes. Yup, you had the perfect formula for relaxation: retail therapy, cocktails and the beach. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see the White House doing well!!!! I passed it daily for many years on my way to work at the VA in Biloxi. I knew it had great potential to be beautiful again. Would love to see a pic of a guest room, hint, hint ;) Really enjoy following you.
ReplyDeleteYou two always have a lot of fun! Glad you got in some retail therapy! Looks like a great area to visit!
ReplyDeleteHappy Belated Birthday, Ron, and congratulations to you and your science students. This looks like a fun place to get away and relax.
