Adventure to the Gulf Coast

On Tuesday, Scott hosted an event at the Beau Rivage for his work.  The Beau Rivage is a resort/casino on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  I honestly had never been to the Mississippi Gulf Coast and I was born and raised in Mississippi.  Usually, when Scott has work events I don't go because it is during the school year.  I was so excited.  So we had a mini-one-day-vacation.

We left earlier than need to in order to stop by the legendary restaurant, The Shed.  I am a huge Food Network/ Cooking Channel fan and the owners of The Shed were on a reality cooking show called, Best in Smoke.  Of course, I was hooked and pulled for them along the way.  The Shed is just one of those restaurants you must stop by when you go somewhere and I had known of it, but of course, never had it.  Needless to say, I was excited to go!

Scott got the pulled pork sandwich and I got the chicken plate.  Here is what I got.  Bad picture but great food!  Oh man... it was good!

Once finished eating EVERYTHING on our plates, Scott and I made our way to the Beau Rivage.  I was pretty excited about it because it is just one of those places you need to experience in Mississippi.  When we walked in I immediately was hit with the smell of an ice cream parlor and a coffee shop!  Oh my!  Ice cream and coffee are my two favorite things in the world.  Give me those and I am a happy camper.  And to make the ice cream on this hot day even harder to resist; it was gelato.  This is it.  Yum.

We attended the parties thrown by Scott's company but the highlight of the trip was not the food, believe it or not.  It was B. B.  King.  I got to see B. B. King!  I was thrilled.  He has always been one of those people that I just love!  I do not get star-struck at all, but I have to say, I was quite star-struck to see him and be so close!
