Tunica, Mississippi

We got ourselves semi-organized this morning and left Tom Sawyer's Mississippi River RV Park and went to find the State of Mississippi. It was only a short drive to join our friends Tom and Juni at Mid South RV Resort in Tunica, Mississippi.  They've been here for a couple of days while we were enjoying our time at the River watching the tugs and barges.

Juni and Tom had arranged for a site right beside them, but when we got to the office about noon to register, we discovered that the people in that site had asked for a late check-out and were still there! The staffer gave us a site down the way a bit and said if we wanted to wait, we could move when the people left. So we just parked Auntie Violet and went to visit with Tom and Juni for a couple of hours. We needed to get our puppy fix anyway and Tika and Izzie were glad to oblige!

By 1:30 our site was free, so we drove over and got ourselves set up. It was a gusty, windy day and by the time we had everything done, we were chilled. It felt good to curl up with my afghan on the couch and read. Well, actually to take a nap...

While they were here, Tom and Juni had discovered a wonderful seafood buffet at the Hollywood Casino. It was so good, they were more than willing to go again tonight (it's only on Friday and Saturday nights). We ate King crab and Snow crab, along with lots of shrimp, stuffed crab, scallops, crawfish, frog legs (not me!), oysters, crab cakes, catfish, etc, etc.  It was so good! There was barely room for a scrumptious chocolate cupcake with chocolate mousse topping.
