Poverty Point

This past weekend we went on our first weekend getaway since we had Avie. Avie didn't go...I missed her terribly, but it was a much-needed weekend of fun and relaxation with Tim and Emmy (my twin brother and his wife). Tim rented this cabin LAST July before Avie was born. They have a 4-year-old and a 9 month old (she's 26 days younger than Avie), and originally I think we planned on taking the kids. When it came down to it, we decided that we just needed some grown-up people time! The guys took a vacation day Friday and went down early (it's only in Delhi, so it's not that far). Emmy and I came after I got off work. When we got there, the guys were grilling for us. We ate and then went fishing. Me and Emmy caught a few! The next morning, the guys went fishing and the girls went to Vicksburg to the outlet mall. We had a good time! When we got back, we just relaxed on the deck with a magazine while the guys were still fishing. They came back and grilled THE BEST FILETS EVER! We were gonna go fishing after dinner, but the bottom fell out of the sky and we got rained out for the rest of the weekend. We opted for a game of couple on couple Cranium. Tim and Emmy won...but yall just wait til next time!

This is the back of our cabin. Yeah, it's IN the water. I didn't know that til we got there. It was awesome.

And this is looking from our deck up to the pier where we parked. You walk down this little boardwalk to get to the cabin.

And this is the view from our cabin to the next cabin.

There was a screened-in porch and then a covered deck and an area where you can pull your boat up. Then there was this uncovered area on the deck where you can grill. Doesn't get much better.

And a view of the peaceful water. It was absolutely serene.

I didn't get any pics of the inside of our cabin...I guess I just forgot! If you click here, you will see exactly what they're like. The main attraction was the deck. It was amazing. We WILL be going back!!!
