Our first day of driving has come to an end. We picked up Henry Ford at his Avis home at 9:15am this morning. So far Henry knows how to take care of his girls. Two states later, and he's taken us all the way to Mississippi for our first stop: Natchez.
Today was a day filled with RAIN, laughter and puppy chow (thanks to Lucy). I look at today as a mini training camp for the days ahead. We don't have many history lessons to share yet, but don't worry they're coming!
We saw more of the road than anything else, but tomorrow we'll share the ins and outs of Natchez and Mississippi history. My godparents, Jack and Gloria (Mississippians) treated us to a B&B in Natchez for the night - what a treat! We were welcomed by the lovely B&B hostess Mrs. Val: "Are y'all the girl cousins we've heard so much about?!" I'm lovin' this southern hospitality, y'all. Jack continues to tell me just because I'm from Texas 'don't mean I understand the South.' I'm beginning to think he may be right...
After a lovely meal with Jack and Glo at Magnolia Grill, a restaurant 'Under the Hill' by the MS River, we're off to bed.
Tomorrow, bring on the history!
