Day 16: A Day of Dreary Driving

I had hoped to leave Dallas around 9:00 am this morning, but it is tough getting the kids away from a place they love. They had a blast with Carson and the doggies at the Taylor's house and really enjoyed everything else we did and everyone else we saw in the area.

We managed to leave by 10:30. It was warm and just slightly overcast in Dallas. It became more overcast as we drove along, and we rain through ran off an on. We arrived in Vicksburg at 4:30 pm, too late to visit the Vicksburg Military Park. This turned out to be okay, though, as we have some time just to relax, read e-mail and blogs (me), watch Survivor Man on the Discovery Channel (the boys), and get a head start on bedtime showers (the girls). We plan on heading to a local family restaurant for supper. I have been craving pie since we saw a reproduction of Pensacola in the 50's at the Naval Aviation Museum which included a diner window full of homemade pie! :-)
