So we made it to Mississippi, after that long travel through Alabama!! We had a good time driving through Mississippi it didn't seem to take as long as other states did but it was still long! We was looking forward to seeing the Mississippi River the whole ride, we got into a real bad rain storm that we had to drive real slow for a bit then it passed on by and we made it to the river!
At the Mississippi River there was this over view look thing we went up to and it was awesome, we were able to see the bridge really good, and another bridge that had a train track on it, they also have this little walk up thing so you kinda feel to be on a small mountain and you can see better and also see the big Casino that's at the Mississippi River!!
Also they had this really cool bridge we could walk across and like different things that was pretty amazing! This bridge made me a bit scared because Braxton is so small it was like he could slip through there so I hurried him on down the other side!!
We also let our dogs out to walk about every single stop we make and even at some stops Jeffrey or someone will run the dogs around the truck in circles to exercise their legs and the babies chase behind getting tired out so they can go to sleep, Lynn hasn't been napping as much as Braxton and let me tell you we can feel it lol, Jeffrey and I both had headaches yesterday from her not having a nap or anything else!
Jeffrey was talking about all the history of this bridge and its pretty cool, makes it be cooler, than just a really long bridge over water!! 😄
After all the cool site seeing it was finally time to cross it, which means that we would be crossing into Louisiana!!
Which we do have a welcome to Louisiana picture but I don't have it on my phone, this was the scariest stop for me, because people were flying off the bridge crossing in and the traffic was
Really heavy at the time we went in, so we hurried up as fast as possible!
Poor Steven his tongue is all messed up and kinda swelled because he ate some Trident Cinnamon Gum which he knows he isn't supposed to eat that but he is a bit hard headed... Then while we are stopped to take pictures on this scary stop into Louisiana, Steven steps down into a fire ants nest and they attack him really bad, and he is all burning up and fighting the ants off...
We finish up at the rest stop with pictures and getting Stevens ant bites chilled out and we head on into Talulah Louisiana looking for a Vegan like Restaurant, they ask Siri where this place is and she leads up to a little city and we can't find the place no where at all we drove around for about 10 mins looking and I guess down there it's not required to have numbers on business we couldn't find the addresses for anything, so Jeffrey decided to tell mom call the place and see where they are located at, and they told us they were in New York, so you can say that was a "Siri Fail" which sucks that wasted a lot of our time but it was fine!!
We were on to West Monroe, still looking for somewhere to eat at, google is usually a very good help but Monroe is small and doesn't have much out of the fast food restaurants, they asked me to control the looking for food while we were riding down the road since my phone was charged the most, Jeffrey said to look up Thai Food, so that's what I found a place called Bangkok Spice, so that's where we headed too, they had a good choice of food one thing on the menu was "Curry" I haven't ever had any of it but I knew that Jeffrey eats it all the time from talking to him when he was in California so that's what we all tired for the first time, it was really good food I didn't think it would taste that good!!
Lynn and Braxton had some egg rolls and fried rice, which they didn't eat much of because we had to wake them to go eat but they had a little bit of it!!
After dinner it was on to meet my sister Savannah, up at the truck stop off her exit to home, it was a really good feeling to get to see her again and meet 2 of my 5 nephews I wish they all could of been but the timing got crazy for a little while and it was so late before we got into Louisiana, so it was alright I will meet them tho ;) the kids played together, walked the dogs and raced back and forwards on the grass, it was a really good meet up and we all had a lot of fun and took some pictures!!
Well readers this is our trip from Mississippi to Louisiana, tomorrow we will be talking about Texas and New Mexico!!
Until next time... Good Night Readers!!
