Gulfport, MS Trip - Sunday, November 10, 2019

Today's plan was to stick around Gulfport with our only plans to walk the beach, take a dolphin cruise, and maybe find some more food at Shaggy's.  ;)

We had the beach to ourselves this morning!

We found our way back to Shaggy's for lunch where we sat out on the deck and loved the warm sun.



We had booked a 1:30 dolphin cruise with Ship Island Excursions so we walked down to the harbor and checked out the boats and birds on our way there.  The dolphins were not all that active today but I got some great bird pictures and it was a beautiful day for a cruise!
