#Summer2021 Journey to the Keys - Day 3

Day 3

We got up early and prepped the camper to leave.  There was time to walk the dog to Biloxi Beach.  Cajun RV had breakfast Danish and coffee at 9, so we had a sweet roll and drove with the camper to visit some portions of Beauvoir that we missed yesterday.  We toured the museum and presidential library, and then walked to the cemetery.  It took awhile but we finally found Col. Prentiss Ingraham.  He is an interesting story; for all his wealth when death was near he wanted to be with his comrades in arms.  



We were on the road by noon, and we're able to meet up at the Florida welcome center with the rest of the family.  We bought a SunPass for the toll roads and set on down the road.

We arrived at our very first Harvest Host spot (Southaven Grace Lavender Farm) and heard the story of the family that runs it.  We shopped their homemade lavender products and then went to eat seafood and meet family in the town of Lynn Haven. The restaurant was called SimpliSeefood.  Not a fried item on the menu, and it was very good!  It was a good visit with good food. 


Then to Walmart to fill the tank and get a replacement for our bottle of broken Reisling.  We had bought it for our anniversary evening, but it fell and broke when the fridge came open. 

After our return we enjoyed our bottle of wine, caught up, and discussed tomorrow's route.  Tomorrow will be a long day.

Jamaica Beach, Day 4

Today started slow, as vacation days should.  No real plans other than a bit of shopping and a nap. Quick breakfast and then helped Brandon....
