My lungs are still recovering from all the cigarette smoke in Biloxi, but we're back and had a fabulous time!! We stayed in adjoining rooms at the IP, which is very nice post Katrina!! Jeff said it used to be a dump. Interesting people there - don't think many of them have picked up an InStyle mag lately (we saw our share of mullets). Also lots of kids?! I just can't see me hauling Mallory, G & Browder to a casino hotel, but anyway. We bellied up to the budget friendly buffet Fri. night at the Isle of Capri (11 bucks; highly recommend it), lounged by the pool all day Saturday on our "banana leaves", ate a yummy italian meal Sat night at Jezzeppi's and hung out at the Beau Rivage Sat night. There is a really fun bar there called Coast (crazy rules, but fun). The band (Ocean Club) was incredible!! These guys were young & cute & played Dave Matthews and a few other tunes that took us back to college. I have to say we did a little noodle-ing, as Jeff calls it. When the band broke we got to experience a real live (LA wannabe) DJ. Usually the DJ is in a booth somewhere and you don't see him/her. This guy rolled out his DJ cart and did all the cool DJ stuff. He wasn't as cool as he thought he was but it was entertaining!! One of the girls in our group is from Biloxi, so her parents cooked us up a seafood FEAST yesterday on our way out of town. Needless to say I was asleep by 8:20 last night. Great weekend!
