Mississippi Family Vacation

The second part of our summer vacation was the furthest we had ever taken our family! The kids very first time out of Texas. We went to my Mimi's house in Brandon, MS. A lot of Mimi's family lives in the Jackson area, and she is originally from Mississippi. We had so much fun playing at the house and visiting with the neighbors. Our most favorite thing we did at the house was pick blueberries in the front yard. I take that back. It was our second favorite thing to do at the house. The first was EATING the blueberries! I still have not found blueberries as good as the ones I eat in Mississippi!

We visited lots of places in and around Brandon, icluding the library and our favorite, Friends & Co. Tea Room in downtown Brandon. Even though we barely fit, we had so much fun as Mimi waited on us. :) (Her cousin owns the Tea Room and she often works there while she's in town.)

 One day we ventured to Jackson where we ate at Rooster's Hamburger joint. (Amazing!) We also went and visited the MS. Agriculture Museum where Finny saw lots of tractors and we got to travel through an old town complete with a General store and a little schoolhouse (the kids' favorite!)

Here are some of my other favorite pictures from just hanging around the house!
