It is a known fact that the finest dinning in Biloxi Mississippi is a small little restaurant. Mary Mahoney's is one of the oldest homes in America. "You haven't been to the Gulf Coast until you've been to Mary Mahoney's!"
I admit that I cried when I read the history on the menu. Yes I said "I cried!" Mary was a woman that loved history, loved food and loved people. I could so relate to her.
I can't even begin to speak as to how great the food was. I do food but can't cook at all like that. Yummy.
I grabbed this quick picture as we were leaving. I love that panting. All the walls were filled with antique art work.
Don't leave and miss the Patriarch, the 2000 year old oak that sits in the courtyard. 
Yes, I say it was 2000 years old. They claim that 3 experts have examined it and dated it to be over 2000 years old. This tree was around at the time of Christ. That is one old tree.
Mary Mahoney's is mentioned in two of John Grisham's books. Mary Mahoney's is really just one of those place where someone found a beautiful location, this old french home. It was already filled with history. Then a very loving person started cooking for all her friends and serving them in this spot of history. The combination of great food, warmth of loving friends, and beautiful history makes for a wonderful place to visit.
The trade show happened to be at the Hard Rock Casino/Hotel. It was fun to walk around a see all the music "history" and memorabilia. I didn't like the smokey smell of the casino but the rooms were very comfortable. J did enjoy seeing Richie' Sambora's guitar and jacket. Richie plays for Bon Jovi (Jason is one of the bands biggest fans.)
Once again our time out together was short lived but wonderful. We are so blessed to have a little time here and there every now and again to spend together.
