West Mississippi

So, if you know us, you probably know we love to go on drives and see new places. It's fun to see the different towns, or states and the neat things we come across. Even though the boys complain, and say "It's so boring", they get very excited when they find cool stuff too. This trip took us west to Arkansas, we had not been west of Hwy 55 in Ms yet so we decided to go. It was a really nice drive, beautiful hills and lakes along the way, and it was early spring so everything was turning green. We made it to the Ar. border and crossed the Ms river bridge, that was the same time it was flooding so bad from all of the snow storms up north. It was amazing how far out the river was on each side, and you could see tons of debris and whirlpools raging, it was almost eery. So we drove on about 20 miles and turned around, there was nothing to see, it wasn't the best trip for sightseeing, but we can say we've been! The pictures we took are from Greenville,Ms right on the border, we stopped at the visitors center because it was the neatest one we've seen. The kids thought the paddleboat theme was so neat. The picture of the "alligator head" was from a cypress tree park we stopped at too. It was actually a cypress stump, but man were the boys excited when they found an "alligator"!
