I'm still catching up on some way overdue blogging and this one is about two weeks ago. We met my parents, who were coming home from a Natchez wedding, in Vicksburg for lunch. We drove through the Vicksburg National Military Park because we were the first to arrive and needed to fill some time (and the outlets weren't open yet) and saw some really pretty monuments. We got out to explore this one and Hannah Kate kept entertaining herself by the echo she could make.
Then we met Gigi and Grandpa for lunch at the cutest little house downtown....Walnut Hills- I think. The service was super fast and our tea glasses never were half empty! It was a plate lunch style house with choices like world famous fried chicken, chicken and artichoke casserole, and shrimp & grits! I think we each tried something different so we could taste it all- plus 3 vegetables, plus dessert. So we finally rolled away from the table and had to take a little walk to stretch our legs.
We found the Coca Cola Museum downtown and explored a little. I think Vicksburg is where Coke was first bottled...maybe? Neat little building- especially for someone like my dad who is fascinated by old Coke stuff. Gorgeous day. Great company!
