We decide to take a day and visit Ship Island. Ship Island is just that, an island located about 11 miles offshore and part of our national park system. It's also home to Ft. Massachusetts. For more info on Ship Island,

Unless you love to just lay in the sun there's not a lot to occupy the time. There's Ft. Mass., but it was closed due to flooding by the previous days heavy rains, fortunately there was a snack bar with food and drinks(yes, cold beer!)and a pavilion, you can guess where I was!
