Surprise! We're in Mississippi

Thursday October 7th Landry and I left for Mississippi upon hearing that my dad, Poppa, would be having triple bypass surgery that Monday. I thought it would cheer him up to spend time with Landry. Unfortunately Brad was unable to make the trip with us. This meant I had to be super smart about traveling the 8 hours with just Landry and myself. We left Texas Thursday and drove as far as West Monroe, Louisiana. Some of our good friends welcomed us to stay with them. We woke up Friday morning and were back on the road by 8. We arrived in Clarksdale right at lunch so we picked Poppa up and went to The Lunchbox. It was very tasty. After lunch we went back to Poppa and Nanna's so Landry could take a nap.





Saturday morning: breakfast at McDonalds (except for Poppa, he's been trying to watch what he eats).





Saturday afternoon we surprised Gran and Laylay. They had no idea we were in town.




Saturday night we had supper at The Stone Pony. The pizza and salad were so good! Landry has taken a liking to salads.





Nanna, Skip, Poppa, me and Landry. Can you tell how into this picture Landry is?





Sunday morning we said our goodbyes to Nanna...




and Poppa.





Before leaving Sunday we had lunch, BYB of course, with Gran and Laylay at Laylay's house. Naturally after lunch it's nap time so Landry made sure Gran took her nap.




We truly enjoyed our trip to MS.
We're praying that everything goes well with Poppa's surgery.

Hope your dad's surgery went well! I'm glad you guys had a great trip and was able to spend some quality time with your dad before his surgery.


Love you!
