Yesterday we drove to Jackson, MS via The Trace. More smooth roads, more beautiful landscapes, more history. I particularly liked the mounds built by the native Mississippian people. They were scattered several places near the road.
I looked up an old high school friend in Jackson and invited him and is wife out for breakfast. My 30th high school reunion was last week and we reconnected briefly (there were so many people talk to), so I contacted him when I knew we were going to be in town. It was great to visit with an old friend on his turf. He took us to a great little restaurant with locally sourced farm-to-table suppliers, and a delicious dark roast coffee. It was like 1986 all over again and we didn't miss a beat. That's the way it is with old friends.
We continued on our way down The Trace and finished it in Natchez, MS. Then we drove to Baton Rouge, LA to meet Lu's brother and sister in law for dinner. They took us to a little Cajun seafood restaurant where we all feasted. My brother in law, Derek and his wife, Chelsea are expecting a baby any day. We were hoping to time our visit right and see the new baby, but it was great to see everyone anyway. We were pleased and impressed by their well behaved kids.
