Yesterday, Jeremy had a 15 minute appointment at the TSA office in Gulfport. It's almost a 2 hour drive, so we decided to make the best of it and have some fun while we were there. We started with his appointment and then drove down Beach Blvd looking for a place to eat lunch. Even now, four years after Hurricane Katrina, there was nothing there. The beach looked awful and the street was lined with empty lots where businesses once stood. When we hit the mall, there were a couple choices and we chose a Tex Mex bar and grill in a strip mall across from Edgewater. Jeremy ordered a Philly Cheesesteak burrito and swears it was the best burrito of his life! After lunch we headed to the Lynn Meadows Discovery Center, one of the top 50 children's museums in the country. It was awesome! So much to do... we had to drag Grace out of each exhibit promising that the next one would be even cooler! The museum had lots of exhibits about Southern culture and acivities... very cool! Once we wore her out, we headed to the outlet mall! :)

The cows were lined up for their 5 o'clock milking!
Grace was so excited to touch a big cow! From the time I told her we were visiting a dairy farm, she asked if she would be able to touch the cows. I told her that she would have to ask the farmer... luckily, these farmer were very nice!
Ready to be milked!
