I am not afraid to ride these fast moving rides but, every time I forced myself to ride with it, I end up sick! It will only ruin my nice day. Much as I wanted too, my body is chicken.
As it moves away, there is a camera that will take photos of the passengers reaction which they can see after the ride. Most of the time, they look scared and funny LOL.

This year's Daytona 500 had been a frustrating experience but, worth it in the end. Mother nature intervened and the race was cancelled on Sunday. It was scheduled 12 noon by Monday but, it started at 7PM and ended at 1 AM, first time since 1959! Rain , fire, car wrecks, and time to tweet LOL! It was a whirlwind event but awesome!
We tried asking the rates in at least 5 hotels in the area but, they are asking too high and they do not look good at all. I had a coupon book from the Alabama rest area and saw this address: 900 South Crest Drive, I-10, Exit 56 Crestview, FL 32536 US.
For $74/night, Comfort Inn and Suites at Crestview is a perfect place to spend a good night sleep.
The hotel sits on a hill and it's only 3 years old. It's very elegant, convenient to every restaurants, and smells clean which is really good huh? Our room has two queen beds, with spec and span bathroom and I noticed, the bath tub design is handicap-friendly.
The hotel has a good size swimming pool, very clean, and every stay comes with a free hot breakfast.
Our well-decorated room has a small fridge, microwave oven, hair dryer & very clean towels, a nice working table with Wi-Fi, large glass window, and huge closet. It's all I need for a short stay. If you drive from Mississippi towards Florida and needs a good night sleep, stop at the exit 56 and look for Comfort Inn and Suites. I highly recommend this place. 
If you plan to visit the Fort, you can catch the ferry at 9:30, 10:30, 11:30 and 12:30. It's free and it's fun! 
The beads that I got this year are less than what I have the other year. It is unfortunate for me to stay in a location with so many kids LOL. The Krewes prioritized the children first then, they neglected the others and that includes me, LOL. 
Here are some of my favorite beads. All the beads that I have will be donated to the friends of my mother back home. Oh they love the beads!
My sis-in-law gave this beads and I this is my favorite. Do you wanna see the beads that I got? I will post them later.
I thought it's nice to acknowledge the owner for the effort. It was very attractive and lively!
If you can't travel to New Orleans, you can set your house into a French Quarter look. This house is located along Porter Street in Biloxi Mississippi. Enjoy the Mardi Gras everyone! Happy Fat Tuesday!
It has long eyelashes LOL. 
So pretty huh?
It has 6 personal trainer workouts, has 1-10 mph speed control, and with heart rate monitor which is easy to use using the thumb sensor. So far, I love my threadmill and if you are looking for this type of machine, check this out in any superstores in your area. Live healthy everyone!
I took these pictures while I was on board on the Liberty Square River Boat. You can see so many things from it including this attraction. It was afternoon and the sun was gleaming brightly on us so; some of my shots are not good. I am only using BB camera phone and digital cam.
I don't take these type of rides because I feel dizzy after the ride and might ruin my day so, i won't dare. I love watching people scream from the top of their lungs though.
Are you adrenalin freak? This attraction is good for you! You should get a fast pass and come back on your scheduled time because the long lines here is heavy.
You don't want to waste your precious time waiting on the long line right? Fast Pass is an alternative to all the rides especially this one.
We will be going there today, did you know that? 
Around 4PM later, we will visit magic Kingdom and just go to Adventureland. Just one area and we are good to go. We might check out the Jungle Cruise again and Tinker Bell's magical Nook, sounds good?
Come back next time and I will definitely post the pictures in any of my blogs, See yah!
The parade was like the Mardi Gras where the Krewe throws nice beads but, most of them are colored green. I had shamrock beads collection and some plastic mugs with ad prints of the establishments in the town. All of us (family) would watch the Saint Patrick's Parade wearing green t-shirt like this one.
Living in Mississippi was different because gatherings are always fun with lots of food and stories to share. 
I wish that my husband and I can go to Mississippi and watch the Saint Patrick's Parade this year. It would be real fun!
The gigantic building on the left is the Atlantis and below the bridge is a small wharf for the boat ride heading back to the Port. I took this picture from the 5th deck on Norwegian Cruise Ship. 
This is the closer look below the bridge.
This is the view of the Atlantis Marina as we stroll the area at the same time going to the boat ride back to the cruise terminal. 
On the middle, you see the boat unloading the passengers. We came from that area and it is just a walking distance to the cruise ships. The boat ride was truly fantastic and the view from everywhere was amazingly beautiful. 
Nassau Bahamas is a beautiful place to visit. You should go there and I am sure, you will be in great awe! 
In terms of area, Nassau in Bahamas is smaller than Camiguin Island in the Philippines but, three times more populated. As you can see it, the sea water is crystal blue and so clean. The gallant building above is the Atlantis which is known as the Paradise Island of Bahamas. 
From the Port of Nassau to the Atlantis Marina, boat rides cost $3/person. Hubby and I took the boat ride coming from the Atlantis back to the Norwegian Sky. The Bahamian people that we met are friendly. If you visit Nassau, you should take the glass bottom boat ride and I am sure, you will enjoy it. Of course, the prize is much much higher. The 360 view here was breathtaking!
If you are cruising and you sign up for a boat ride activity from the cruise line, it is more expensive but, if you have the money, why not right? After all, it is well organized and safe.
You can take these ships for a short trip. The prices may vary according to the destination.
Considering this is a Port area, all of us admire how clean it is. No oil spill and the water is clear, blue, and no trash floating.
All the fare prices to a destination is listed in the Festival Place, a welcome center at the port of Nassau. If you ride in a van, the fare is $5/person and it should be full if not, you will pay the seats that covers for the whole trip.
We have a balcony and we truly enjoyed the view because the land mass across is the city of Ocean Springs. We lived there for 18 months and every day, I saw the Isle Hotel and Casino stood gallantly across the waters.
We like our room because the view of the bay and the Gulf was breathtaking especially at sunrise. This is the Bay Bridge that connects the cities of Biloxi and Ocean Springs along the highway 90.
On this day, I woke up early to catch the glimpse of sunrise. It was foggy and a little chilly but, it was a gorgeous day.
This is the room and the area is a good size with free WiFi.
I always like to have twin beds because I work late at night and I can have all the space I needed without waking up my husband. 
The picture above is taken from the Bay Bridge as we drove towards the huge building of the Isle Hotel and Casino.
This month we will be coming back to Mississippi and stay at the Isle for the Mardi Gras celebration at the Gulf Coast. I will be posting more pictures soon. Thanks for stopping by.
These pictures were taken during the Peter Anderson Festival in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. This festival features the local artists and display their artwork, special unique decor, wood carvings and more.
The prices of the products are affordable with world class quality.
This town is full of charm and happy people. The community is very supportive to every events and festivals.
Here is an artwork area that I love in fact, hubby bought wood carvings of birds. Peter Anderson Festival is the most celebrated event for Arts and Crafts in the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This event is showcasing and giving honor to all the local painters, potters, and craft makers.
There are so many amazing art exhibit, food booths (my favorite), and there are live bands that stimulate the crowds in jolly shopping mood. 
There are downtown seated dining (sort of Night cafe' in Cagayan de Oro City) and lots and lots of delicious food. 
People who came to this festival did not only window shop but, they came here to buy the art work. I took a video but, can't find it in my folder. It would be nice to 
The picture below is my favorite art work. Oh you should check out the artist, he is just talented.
Visit Ocean Springs and better check out the schedule of Peter Anderson Festival this year. If you collect art work, you will surely enjoy this festival.
