Our trip to Mississippi is going great. Our first three days we were in Vicksburg and went to the most accurate battle ground in the world. We learned about the siege of Vicksburg during the Civil War.....

Then we took a sight seeing cruise on the Mississippi River. Lots of kids. Small Boat. Cramped.

Yesterday we saw a mansion called Longwood. Featured on HGTV. It was started before the Civil War and if it was completed, it would have been the most elaborate mansion in Natchez...(there's a bunch of them).

Now we are in Nachez and getting ready to go to a working cotton plant built in the 1800s. We are going to see how they harvested cotton long ago and compare it to how they do it now. Your T-shirt might be made from cotton grown at Frogmore Plantation.
