Our day began with a 4 AM wake up call. It was hard to leave our puppies for a whole month! I gave Sydney a BIG hug and I'm praying that she behaves for everyone watching her.
We hit the road around 5:30 AM Texas time. It was a long, fun day in the car. We have stopped at 4 welcome centers - Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. I only have pictures from the first two; the other 2 are on my phone.
This family brought their rice cooker on their trip... That would be interesting to have on a road trip... Does it cook in their car?
After 4 1/2 hours of driving we made it to the Duck Dynesty Headquarters... Too bad it is Sunday and it was closed. Womb Womp. Still got to see this big truck with pictures of the crew.
Our next stop was Mississippi. This is a view from the Mississippi welcome center and it is of the Mississippi River. It was so beautiful outside today. It was REALLY humid as well so we didn't spend too much time outside.
We went back inside to the visitor center to find out if the Vicksburg Cemetary sold any postcards. Mary Hopkins inside the welcome center gave us a VERY wonderful tip. She told us to turn left out of the visitor center and then turn left onto Clay Street and we would be able to see downtown Vicksburg. This was an AMAZING tip!! First, you will need to park your car near this small park. If you have kids or if you need to cool down there is a small splash park you can cool off at. Then, start at the beginning and walk the mural path. The murals depict the history of Vicksburg. It was totally worth the sweat!
At the end of the murals you will be at the old train depot. Unfortunately it is closed on Sundays... Boo again. But it was incredible!!
For the rest of the day we drove all the way to Atlanta, Georgia. We lost an hour because of Eastern Standard Time so we traveled a total of 15 hours today.
We have a very busy day tomorrow so check back and see what we do!! Goodnight everyone!
