Now that Mardi Gras is over(and I'm still alive) lets talk T Buckets. We are still hammering out specifics as far as time and dates, but we have the following in the works:
We are shooting for one day to visit the Vietnam Memorial in Ocean Springs with a scenic cruise there and back, as well as a lunch stop.(TBD)
We will be visiting the Armed Forces retirement home in Gulfport for a "car show" for the residents of the facility(all retired Veterans #salute) and will be having lunch with the residents before departure(options will be posted in the itinerary) The residents at this facility LOVE to get out and see the cars and talk "shop" if only for an hour or two. This kinda hits home for me as this is where my grandfather lived before he passed, and the people here are amazing.
We will be doing several cruises along the white sands of the Gulf of Mexico, while stopping in the small towns along the way for shopping, dining, and whatever else tickles your fancy.
We have planned a chicken and sausage Jambalaya dinner one night and we also have a crawfish boil planned for Saturday Night with a "drive in theater" set up in the parking lot playing American Graffiti.
There will be plenty of opportunities for ice cream and ad libbing. Cruising and bench racing will be hot topics as well.
I hope to have the "official itinerary" completed in a few days and will leak more information as the time gets closer.
Thanks to everyone who has already signed up and to those that will in the future. We hope to make our event a huge success and have it become an annual run that everyone looks forward to.
Keep the skinny pedal pressed to the floor until you feel your heartbeat in your neck, then press harder.
See y'all soon.
