Good Bye Mississippi; Hello Iowa!
Posted by Greta on Monday Feb 14, 2011 Under TravelsOn Saturday, we left Ocean Springs, Mississippi to go to Lansing, Iowa. We got a phone call from Jean’s parents saying that Grandpa (Jean’s dad) wasn’t doing very well, so we decided to come visit. On Saturday morning, we went to a place in Jackson, MS, where we could winterize our RV, (it’s too cold; our pipes would freeze up. Unfortunately, we had just de-winterized two days earlier) and then we continued our journey.
Entertaining ourselves along the drive

We drove all day Saturday and slept in Troy, Missouri, in another Walmart parking lot.
Sunset along the road in Arkansas
We stopped at two Subways to eat, then, around 2:00, we finally arrived.
Bluffs along the Mississippi River
Lots of family members are here, and it’s a really nice place to be. My sisters and I might start attending school here.

Yeah brynn, I’d say you “miss spelled” a lot of things. That’s okay, though. We still love you.
Girls: if you see your dad, I mean, well you know what I mean but tell him to call us, okay? We’ve been trying to get ahold of you guys for a while to no avail.
Love you and miss u!! <3

4wheels4girls & you too, Jean & Van…Oh, what an emotional & hectic time for you all. A blessing in disguise for us to see and spend time with you. Gretta and Stella, Elise was so happy you could sleep over. So, please include Sherrill/Dubuque,Iowa the next time those 4 wheels come this way! We’ll do more fun times, Ellie & Ana. As we have snow, freezing rain, cold & fierce wind,the weather folks keep promoting a “warm” day on next Fri, March 18th. Hope they’re right! Love you all so much/Aunt-Great Aunt Rita
