ROAD TRIP DAY 1: MISSISSIPPI

This summer my Mom and I are going on a road trip from Dallas to Maine.  I am going to post about everywhere we go on the way. Lastly I am going to post about our two destinations, Castine and Macmahan Island Maine. These posts will help me with my writing and description in my stories and maybe it will help you decide what you want to do on your trips!

Our trip started with leaving Dallas and heading to our first stop, Vicksburg Mississippi.  It is very special and modern and inspirational because first the barges go up and down the river and have been doing that before, during and since the Civil War.

Second we are staying in a very vintage hotel here.  The Klein family built the house way way back and were very inspirational to me because they lived way way way way back in the early 1900's .  We toured the whole hotel and that was probably the highlight of the stay here.  There are about 40 cannonballs that shot through the house, mostly patched up but there is even a cannonball in the wall next to the piano!  It has been a very special stay there and I probably will never forget it!!!

Next stop Alabama!
