Biloxi




Last weekend I went to Biloxi for my friend Casey's bachelorette party.  She is getting married in April in New Orleans and unfortunately I won't be able to go but luckily I was able to party with her for the weekend.  There were 4 of us; Casey, Danielle, Lacy, and me.  The four of us had been on a road trip together before; 3 years ago we went to New Orleans together for Jazz Fest and had a great time.  
We arrived in Biloxi late Thursday night and we had a free room waiting at the Isle of Capri.  This hotel actually has nice rooms; they are spacious and all of the bathrooms are newly renovated and that makes a huge difference.  The decor is pretty hilarious though; it reminds me of Grandma and Grandpa in Miami.  We stayed at the bar until 4 am "gambling" which for us consists of sticking a dollar in the video poker games often enough to get free drinks.  Casey did win big money though; she walked away with $2.50.  
The next day we checked out and moved to the Beau Rivage which is a beautiful, Vegas-style hotel and casino.  It was a beautiful day so we put on our swimsuits for the first time this year and set out to get sun burned.  Lacy's burn showed up first so even though we were all bright red we only laughed at Lacy and her "white tank top".  That night we ate sushi and went out dancing.  We had goofy scratch off cards with bachelorette party dares of things like dance like your drunk or ask a guy for a condom.  We danced our butts off until about 2 am.
Day 2 we ate at Mary Mahoney's which is historic for it's food and colonial architecture; I had the crab cakes.  That night we went to the movies and saw "He's just not that in to you" and I ate a whole movie size box of Milk Duds.  It was a great weekend.  Enjoy the pix.
