On Our Way Home

Before heading out from Natchitoches this morning, we drove by the house where my grandmother, aunt and parents had all lived at various times. This is the house I associate with trips to Natchitoches. We then drove out to Sibley Lake where my father and I used to go fishing when I would come down to visit after they moved here. It was just a chance to see the old locales and remember some good times.

From Natchitoches we drove up to Shreveport then headed east on I-80. The weather was really good the whole way across on I-20. When we got to Jackson, MS, we drove into town to "collect" the state capitol. It looks like a smaller and grayer version of the national capitol. It also has a memorial to the women of the confederacy in front of it. We didn't spend a lot of time because we wanted to get to our destination before it got too dark.

Now we are sitting in our hotel in Tuscaloosa, AL relaxing after a Pizza Hut and Amber Bock feast. Tomorrow we are going up through Tennessee and stop in Bristol for the night. That's all for today!
