Day 15-18 Biloxi, Mississippi

I'm sitting here on a motel bed with Marg, sipping a Jack Daniel's and marinating my insides in a sweet filet mignon from a local awesome steak house - here in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Finally able to steal out a couple of minutes to type up an entry into our road-trip blog. We've fallen behind a bit because we've just been so busy catching up with friends in three different spots on our road-trip itinerary.....funnily enough - all one after the other.

This entry is dedicated to the awesome time Lindsay and Morg showed us in Lindsay's home town of Ocean Springs (right next to Biloxi), Mississippi. We stayed with Lindsay's parents, Chris and Karen. They are 'southern hospitality' personified. They fed us, entertained us, and kept us laughing. One of the highlights was being taken out on Chris's boat down the 'bayou' and ending up in a restaurant alongside the bayou called 'The Shed'. You literally park your boat and walk up to the restaurant. It was a traditional southern BBQ joint, complete with sweet blues flowing from the house sound system. The place would never qualify for planning permission had it not been for the almost religious passion they have for bbq'ing anything that breathes and smothering it in a BBQ sauce that should be illegal. Mixed with some Sam Adams and Dos Equis - it was heaven!

Anyway....it was nice to just be in a 'home' on our trip and meet Lindsay's awesome family who took us in and spoiled us rotten. Chris - you're a legend and Karen you're officially our 'road-trip-mom'!

Big massive thanks to Morg and Lindsay for your hospitality and showing us around. Morg, that's probably one of the most memorable coffee moments of my life ;-)
