Scott, Alyssa, and I had a mini-vacation to Vicksburg, Mississippi. We've been studying the Civil War this summer and Vicksburg was mentioned several times. Alyssa was so excited to get to see an historical place and with it being only four hours away it was the perfect destination.
We left on Monday morning, August 6, and took our time driving and eating lunch. When we arrived around 3:00 p.m. we noticed school buses throughout the town. I thought the bus drivers were just practicing their routes but there were kids on the bus so we were perplexed. We found out that the Vicksburg school system started school that day! This made our little trip less congested and calm. All of the destinations seemed less crowded than I expected.
In the 48-hour period we were there we were able to visit the...
1. Coca-cola museum
2. Doll museum - Alyssa loved this!
3. Outlet mall - Jennifer loved this!
4. Vicksburg Battlefield and museum, U.S. Cairo museum
5. Anchuca Mansion - Jefferson Davis' brother's home
6. Walnut Hill restaurant - located in an historical home
7. Vicksburg mall - not fancy, but GREAT prices
8. Riverfront park and Vicksburg murals
9. Several scenic drives
I didn't even mention all of the eating we packed into this time period. It's a good thing we were only gone for three days!
We left a little early from Vicksburg so we could spend time at the Pecanland Mall in Monroe, Louisiana. It is a nice place to stop and stretch your legs while you shop at Dillards....
