Dean & I have good friends that have built a second home on the bay in Pass Christian, MS. They call it a camp but I refuse to do so because this is NOT a camp. It's a very nice house. We went Thursday & spent the weekend with them.
Friday morning Dean & Matt went fishing. Suzy & I went for a run, not together because Suzy is one of those 7 minute mile runners. I'm excited to say that I managed a 4 mile run in an area I'm not familiar with & managed to not get lost! My sense of direction is lacking. Dean had his phone out & showed me the subdivision on the map so I'd have an idea of where I needed to be. It worked! My time was 44:14. I had 2 miles that were under 11 minutes. That's very exciting for me!!! I enjoyed the new scenery. There were some beautiful houses.
For those of you that don't know these are crab traps. I went with the guys to put them out.
They used raw chicken for bait. GROSS!
This is some sort of Styrofoam ball that's attached to the trap so you know which ones are yours when you go to check them.
Later Friday night we went for a boat ride. Most of the houses on the bay are really pretty. This isn't a great pic but this house was so pretty & soooo big! The people that own it live in New Orleans & this is their second home.
This one was my favorite. The front is gorgeous too. It has lots of palm trees.
These sunsets are why Matt & Suzy chose the lot they did. So pretty!
I'm not sure if you can see through the trees but there's a boat in there. You can see the poles that held the sails. This area was hard hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 & this is where someone's boat landed. Because of where it is there's no way to get the boat out. It's kind of spooky.
I was playing with the different settings on my camera but I thought this was a cool looking picture.
One very small crab in the trap! They hadn't been out long. We just wanted to see if we caught anything.
Since the fish weren't biting we went out to dinner in Bay St. Louis at Trapani's.
Pass Christian is only about 2 hours from Baton Rouge so it's easy to go for a weekend. It was a great way to end our vacation!
Toodles!
That's a gorgeous 'camp'!
