We headed out the door soon for a 10 day southern adventure, and this time it will be a REAL southern adventure, as in we're going to the DEEP south. We've been to Florida, Louisiana, Texas & Virginia before, but not to any of the other southern states. Rick, Andy & I are headed to Jackson, Mississippi and hooking up with Jordan and Jake for the Labor Day weekend. We'll stay in Jackson and see the sights and then drive up to Oxford, MS to see the Ole Miss-BYU game. It will be a sea of red and white (but at least these people will be much more civil and well behaved than the ones we're acquainted with who red and white, even allowing for lots of alcohol.) Before the game we'll head to a place called "The Grove" and participate in some southern hospitality. Our friend Keith made the comment that Ole Miss may have "The Grove" but we have "The Sacred Grove." Good point Keith! We're all so excited we can't stand it. Hopefully the Cougars will prevail.
After that we're headed to Memphis, TN and then we're going to Nashville. Jord, Jake and Andy will leave us at that point and head back to reality while Rick and I continue on to see:
Bowling Green, KY
Charlotte, NC
Columbia, SC
Augusta, GA
Atlanta, GA
Birmingham, AL
back to Memphis in route to
Little Rock, AR
near Dallas, TX (where we're staying the night with the Fast Easy Bread queen Lindsey & her family)
and ending up in
Austin, TX for the BYU game there on September 10
It's going to be 2,376 miles through 8 southern states we've never seen before. Thanks to travel agent Claire who made all our arrangements. Also thanks to Delta Skymiles for finally accumulating enough miles to pay for the flights. AND thanks to my husband for teaching summer school to pay for the rest! Hooray!
If we live to tell, I'll do just that. See ya'll later.
