We looked forward to this small but very enjoyable trip to Ocean Springs, MS. Our last time there was in 2017 for our anniversary. We spent two nights in Ocean Springs and one night returning at the Southern Hotel in downtown Covington, LA.
Ocean Springs used to be a quiet, charming town but has become a town bustling with tourists and daytime traffic. One benefit to us is more good restaurants. We enjoyed a great dinner at Maison de Lu - a 2" thick bone in pork chop covered with a fine sauce preceded by smoked salmon for Judy, and seared salmon preceded by crab cakes and shrimp for Dave.
Of course we visited our favorite museum, the Walter Anderson Museum of Art which we have been visiting over the years since it opened in 1991. Then we visited the Shearwater Pottery which has a great history thanks to the Anderson family who have been making pottery there since 1928.
After enjoying Ocean Springs, we visited downtown Covington staying at one of our favorite hotels, The Southern Hotel. Our main focus was dinner at the Ox Lot 9 restaurant of Chef Jeffrey Hansel. We had the good fortune to be seated at the Chef's Table such that we could enjoy the activity of those preparing the fine meals.
