Mississippi and Food go hand-in-hand. Mainly because that's all we did. Eat. Eat. Eat. I swear I gained a few lbs. over the weekend. It was a lot of fun though! Started off a bit turbulent due to the weather but once we finally made it we were ready for an adventure. Granny had the entire day Friday planned out for us. We went to the B.B. King museum, ate a ton of food, shopped and were introduced to damn near everyone in town. No really we were. Indianola, MS has roughly 7 stoplights and my grandma has lived there for 50+ years. So believe me when I say she knows everyone. My mom and dad got into town late Friday night and it was
so great to see them! I hadn't see them since Nov/Dec. We exchanged birthday presents, received Christmas presents from my mom's side of the family and even were handed a few straggling wedding presents. We came home with an entire suitcase full of gifts! My kind of trip :) Saturday night we made a special trip to the original
Doe's Eat Place. This restaurant is known for their incredible steaks except it just so happens to be in the roughest neighborhood of Greenville, MS. It started out as a woman's house therefore you literally have to walk through the kitchen to be seated. They don't have a menu and the place is disgusting looking. Not the food though! That my friend was
incredible! It's also BYOB so it couldn't get much better. As you can see by this picture, the steaks aren't your typical serving size...
After dinner we went gambling on the ferry boats along the Mississippi river. So fun! I learned how to play blackjack and was able to leave after only losing $10. Alex on the other hand is losing his lucky touch. Overall it was a great trip and we had a blast!!
