Picnic on the Gulf

Today we all went on a picnic. Took some pop and water in the cooler and stopped at Subway for sandwiches. Than went to the state park on the gulf at Ocean Springs, MS.

After lunch we walked out on the pier into the gulf and enjoyed the sun and warm (68) temperature.

Here is a picture of a typical gulf coast house, built up on stilts to protect if from storm surge. Also a few shots of the live oak trees as they hang over the road and some shrimp boats

Hope you enjoy
