Ship Island Excursions Finally Open for The Season!

  


  Welcome back my fellow Adventures! I hope you enjoyed the latest episode of Travel Tips and Tricks Tuesday. I know all of you are wondering where we are going this week. Well, this is more like an announcement, because I personally won't be going till its warmer. However, for those that want to go to a really great beach in this cooler weather the Ship Island Excursions Ferry is opening back up for the season! Starting tomorrow, Friday, March 21, the ferry will start taking people back to Ship Island.

    Tickets start at $44 for adults. They do offer different prices for seniors, kids, and military as well.




The ferry ride takes about an hour to get to the Island. Get to the port early to get a good seat. They do offer concession stands on the boat and on the island, to be sure to bring extra money with you because it does cost extra. Prices for food, drinks, snacks, lounger and umbrella rentals, and souvenirs really isn't that bad. 

    The island itsel




f is very open and covered in marsh lands. It does have sandy beaches and a really nice boardwalk to take you safely through the marshes to both the north and south side of the island. So you can enjoy all the local wildlife and flowers. Despite the island being mostly marshes there are plenty of wildlife that call the island home. Such as crabs, stingrays, hermit crabs, birds, etc. 

    The pictures in this article were taken during previous trips to Ship Island. So look forward to a part 2 to this article where I will go more in depth about the Island and its unique history. I will also have brand new pictures for you as well. However, it will be awhile because i will be waiting for it to get a lot warmer before I go. Part 2 i estimate to release sometime in June but no later than July. So look forward to it.

    Until next time!

Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill

One of the restaurants where my family likes to eat is Woody’s Roadside Bar and Grill located on Highway 605/ Lorraine Rd. I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times and not once have I ever had bad service. All the employees are super nice and upbeat, and the food is amazing. My mom normally gets the chicken strips and fries while I get the pulled pork sandwich, fries, and sweet potato fries. The sweet potato fries, in my opinion, are absolutely addictive. 😋 I normally can’t finish all of mine, but that is ok because I take it home for leftovers to put in my lunch box for the next time I work at my part-time job.     I highly recommend eating here if you have the chance. The atmosphere is fun, the staff and food is amazing. It is a little loud in the restaurant so if you are looking for some place a little quieter, then this may not be for you. For the guys that want to watch the game while they eat, there are plenty of TVs. Some are in the dining area and more ...

Samurai Japanese Cuisine, Sushi Grill, and Bar

Image
            Hi everyone, today we are taking a trip to Samurai Japanese Restaurant. It is a small restaurant located on Sangani Blvd, across the stree from the Wal-Mart Supercenter in D'Iberville, MS. The atmosphere of the restaurant, though small, is very quiet and relaxing with relaxing music playing quietly in the background.     Once seated your server brings out hot towel to clean your hands, which is a great touch. Especially in the winter when even just 2 minutes outside and your fingers will be ice cold. Then once you're ready the server will take your order. My mom and I only waited about 5 minutes and the server brought out our soups, salad, and spring rolls. They were served hot and delicious  😋. Then about 5 minutes later our food arrived. Nice, hot, and delicious 😋. I had the chicken and steak hibachi meal and my mom had the chicken hibachi.      This restaurant does not have the show where the hibachi chef ...
