Tuesday morning we got up and hit the road for Biloxi, Mississippi. I wasn't looking forward to this part of the trip because I didn't figure there would be anything to do other than gamble at the casinos. As soon as we got close to Biloxi, I was happily surprised. All along the co
ast was an exceptionally w
ide, white sand beach. It was absolutely beautiful. I couldn't wait to take my shoes off and walk in the sand. When we arrived at Hard Rock, we had some lunch and drinks at the cafe before checking in. After we got settled into our rooms we went downstairs to check out the casino. We were underwhelmed by Hard Rock's casino. It was small, so it was fairly hard to find a table. We decided to walk next-door to Beau Rivage to see what their casino looked like. It was very nice. It is owned by MGM, and we noticed it has a similar feel to Bellagio (also owned by MGM). Eric and Jim played black jack for
quite a while. I walked around the casino, but wasn't in the mood to gamble so I sat down and people-watched. I noticed that the majority of the people in
the casino were over the age of 65. I'm not sure how long I sat around, but after a bit I walked back to our hotel room to read. Eric met up with me not long after and we decided to go for a walk on the beach. We strolled along the beach to find a place to sit and watch the sun set. The view was picturesque, and the sand was soft and cool between my toes. I decided that I wanted to roll up my jeans and put my feet in the water since it was my first time to the gulf. The water was pretty cool at first, but I got used to it quickly. I convinced Eric to test the water as well. The waves picked up and my jeans ended up getting pretty wet while he managed to stay fairly dry. When it got dark we headed back to the ho
tel to find Jim and get some dinner. Eric and I decided that Mexican food sounded good, so we had the GPS in Jim's car find us a place to go. If I remember correctly we ate at El Saltillo. The food wasn't the best I've had but it was still good. Following dinner we went back to Hard Rock for some more gambling. I still wasn't in the mood to play so I just watched the guys play black jack. A few times I was about to sit down to play, but someone beat me to the open seat. After a while I got tired of standing, and also tired in general, so I went up to bed. The guys continued to play for probably a few hours.
