Drive to Tupelo, MS

Beka travels for work, and she just got a new shop in Tupelo, MS. It is only about 3-4 hours away, and it is only one night stay, so it is not a long trip, but this time Michael got to join her! They drove through the beautiful Nachez trace which is a nature preserve that stretches all through TN and MS. It is gorgeous. It is very well taken care of and a pleasure to visit, picnic, hike, or drive through, and it is all free!

There is a huge bridge on the way that was under construction, so we had to go over it really slowly, and it was magnificent! We were so high up and the water was so blue and so pretty. On the way back over the bridge there was a barge going under the bridge so we slowed down to a crawl to watch it go under, and we got the captain to honk the horn! or sound the whistle or whatever you call it. It was pretty cool!

We had a great time. The only thing not so enjoyable was the no air conditioning in our car, and the half tan Beka got from our nifty sun roof and the smart choice of a tube top on the way there :) When we arrived at the hotel, the skies opened up to a down pour! And Michael, being the gentleman that he is, unloaded the car in a monsoon, and was soaked to the bone by the time he was done. But ever all it was a really cool trip, and a special treat that Michael got to go. We hope you enjoy our adventure!
