Mississippi- A Brief Jaunt in Southern Mississippi

We crossed the most narrow part of Mississippi, only 75 miles wide.

We were surprised that the Interstate welcome center was laid out like a plantation style home with beautifully furnished rooms... and free pop!

In the welcome center was a display of different fancy Mardi Gras costumes.

While based in Mobile, AL, we took a day trip back into MS to visit the coast and Biloxi area.

We saw several shipyards as we drove along the coast.

A rotating railroad bridge that is in the open position for ships to pass by...

Behind us is a shrimp peeling machine. Years ago a father challenged his teenage son to invent a machine to replace a very manual job. The boy did it before he graduated from high school!
