We headed out early! We had a good 8 hrs ahead of us today. 

On of my favorite things about driving is all the big cities we come to. I use the word BIG loosely because today, the “BIG” cities consisted of Vicksburg, MS, Shreveport, LA, and Dallas, TX. None of which really compare to BIG cities, like NYC or Chicago but nonetheless they are big compared to the trees and flat lands we drove through. 

Vicksburg is a city located right on the Mississippi River, I believe it is only a “big” city because of its history in our nations civil war. Regardless, after a few hours of nothing, driving through Vicksburg was a welcome sight. A few fast food restaurants and then we crossed the Mississippi! I made the girls turn off their TV and look because I think they need to see America! 🇺🇸

Shreveport is a much bigger town then Vicksburg, but I drove though it so I don’t have any pictures. It has tall hotels and a good bit of traffic considering we have had none since we left Atlanta. Again I made the girls look up and see the city. One I know they have driven through a hundred times but still, I wanted them to look! I ❤️ cities! 😉

Next up was Dallas, really we could just see it in the distance because we take the freeway south of the city, but there it was! I always know when I can finally see we are close! Texas has In N Out so I had to get a little snack before we arrived and we needed a potty stop, it was perfect! 

These are animal style fries, French fries, covered in grilled onions, smothered in melted cheese, and (insert another Waffle House word) with special sauce. They are delicious, but probably a heart attack waiting to happen! 

So, in an attempt to be mildly healthy I had water! 🤣 

We made it safe and sound! We had dinner with Staci’s family and enjoyed our time together…with a late snack of Taco Casa and then Big Brother!
