You may not be able to spell it, but that doesn’t mean you can’t visit it, and have a fabulous vacation. Mississippi offers its own unique blend of family fun, outdoor adventure, history, and entertainment. There’s plenty to see and do whether you’re on a romantic getaway or a family vacation.
There are many resorts and casinos to be found in Mississippi. Whether you want to throw down a few dice, relax in a spa, or hit a few rounds of golf, there are plenty of places to choose from. In Choctaw, visit the Golden Moon Hotel and Casino and gamble the night away or improve your putting game at the Dancing Rabbit Golf Club at the Pearl River Resort.
Maybe you’re looking for a quieter vacation, with visits to historical sites and cultural hot spots. Check in to the Loft Oaks Inn in Biloxi, and then spend the day shopping. Satisfy your cravings for history by visiting some of the many Civil War related sites including the Brice’s Crossroads National Battlefield, the Confederate Cemetery, or visit the Natchez National Historical Park. Head on over to Blue Mountain College’s library and view an antique doll collection exhibit dating back from 1875.
You can’t go on a vacation without eating. Well the state of Mississippi refuses to let you go hungry. Visit the Ole Country Bakery in Brooksville where you can look through a huge glass window and watch freshly baked breads and pastries be prepared before your eyes. If you’re looking for some good old-fashioned southern comfort, prepare to lick your plate clean at the famous Abe’s Bar-B-Q in Clarksdale. You may want to satisfy your appetite for music at the same time. In that case, enjoy blues music at Blue Front Café in Bentonia, or listen to the famous B.B. King perform at Club Ebony in Indianola.
If you are a lover of what nature has to offer, Mississippi is the place to be. Set up camp at the Dub Patton Campground in Coldwater, and get ready to enjoy all that the Mississippi outdoors has to offer: a lot. Whether you want to spend your vacation on the water, canoeing, fishing, or kayaking, or if you’d rather hit the trails, with your hiking boots, or your bike, you’ve found the right place.
If you’re on a family vacation, there’s plenty to do to have a great time. Take the kids blueberry picking at Nesbit Blueberry Plantation in Hernando. They may get entirely blue, but they’ll have a sweet smile on their faces. Hose them down at the Geyser Falls Water Theme Park in Choctaw, and if they are still full of energy after that, spend the afternoon at Causeyville Raceway where your young ones can go-kart to their little hearts’ content.
A Mississippi vacation will be anything but one-dimensional. Explore the outdoors, enjoy the amazing food, absorb the history, and just completely immerse yourself in the culture. You’re sure to come out with a smile on your face. It’s all there, you just have to find it.
