Paula Deen!

Last Friday I surprised Zach with a day trip to Tunica, Mississippi. It turned out to be a lot of fun even though Zach was mad for the first 45 minutes of the drive because I wouldn't tell him where we were going. He hates surprises and pictures, therefore we don't have any pictures of our little getaway. We started off by going to the Tunica River Park Museum which was actually pretty interesting. They had a lot of cool displays and information about the Mississippi River. There was also a nature trail that we walked even though it was 100* outside. After that we decided to hit up the outlet mall, but that was just too much walking outside also! We ended the evening by eating at the Paula Deen buffet inside Harrah's casino.

The restaurant is designed like her home so you walk in through her porch and there are different rooms to dine in. It can hold 560 people!
I have never seen so much fried food in my life! We spent 2.5 hours there tasting everything that we could! They also have seafood on Friday and Saturday so Zach was able to try some of that out. It was hilarious watching him try and eat crab legs! :)
We're not big fans of Southern food but it was fun to try everything out that we haven't had a chance or desire to yet! We figured we paid for all the food, we might as well try everything. Overall, it was quite the experience and we left feeling extremely full!
