Cracker Barrel in Louisiana hit the spot!  Noelle loomed it up on the road trip for all her friends we were meeting in Florida!

 

This was the view from our hotel room at The Hilton Garden Inn in downtown Jackson, MS.  Thankful for our noise machine with all these train tracks.  We don’t leave home without it!  With that being said, I never saw a moving train.  Most of the buildings in this picture and on the downtown road leading up to the capital are abandoned and in disarray.  I told Mike it looked like a ghost town.  The girls got really freaked out, so I had to explain what that meant. 

 

The lobby was super fancy in an almost eerie way, considering the broken glass windows and weeds in buildings right outside!  The elevators were golden and there was a grand stair case made out of marble.  It was all a little bizarre.  Honestly, we won’t be back, but it was, as Anna Kate says, “Instressting.” 

We sure are a silly bunch!  One travel day down and half-way there.. we’re getting so close!
