The Last Leg of Our Journey

On Tuesday, April 2nd, we left Crystal Springs, Mississippi after a trip past the Gallman Cementary, Copiah Academy (local private school) and the Gallman gas station.

We traveled to Vicksburg, Mississippi where we drove around the Civil War Park.  It was incredible to imagine the life of war and how this place was so preserved that there were still markings where the canons once stood.  It truly allowed the history books to come alive for all of us.  We also had a great view of the massive Mississippi River.




We enjoyed a delicious meal at the Walnut Hills Restaurant where we had fried catfish and delicious salads and desserts.  We loved the beautiful pink azaleas that were in full bloom.  When we looked back at all the experiences thus far, we were amazed at the variety and relationships that can never be forgotten.  Each leg of our journey had something that forever changed our spirits and taught us about the scripture in Matthew Chapter 6.  "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."  We learned how important our families are to us.  We treasure each Aunt, Uncle, Grandparent and are grateful for all the sacrifices that they have made to help us enjoy "THE GOOD LIFE."





We traveled back to Dallas, Texas and ate Aunt Laura's delicious cooking including potatoes, salad and glazed salmon.  All in all, we couldn't have planned a better experience and will take this trip into our hearts as a wonderful memory to last a lifetime.  Thanks to ALL who helped and loved our family!
