Then She Slapped Her Head and Exclaimed, “I’m an Idiot!”

Cannon at Vicksburg Battlefield and Memorial“Hey Dad…”

“Yes, Zoë.”

“Remember that time?  On vacation?”

“Uhm, yeah.”

“When we were at the battle field?”

“Yeah.”

“And there was that hill with the big guns?  The cannons?”

“Yes, Zoë”

“And Zane and I were running up and down the hill?”

“Yes, I do remember that.”

“That was fun.”

Running the Hills at Vicksburg Battlefield and MemmorialWe had a blast on our recent road trip.  After much thought, I think I’ve come up with a name for it (because doesn’t every road trip need a title?).  There were some good ones in the mix: The Spring Break Trek, The Great Southern Heritage Odyssey, or the just missed the cut Let’s Poop in a Coon Dog Cemetery Take One.  All excellent choices as you can see.

However, I think I’m gonna go with The Spring Break Southern Heritage Tour 2009.  I’ll be interspersing tales of our journey here as well as over at UpTake.com so if you haven’t done so already, make sure you subscribe to their feed.  Here’s the link to sign up.

As an added incentive, there’s money in it.  Well, not for you.  But it is worth something.

    It may sound odd, but those wee hills are fascinating to me.

    Holland is flat…

    Very intrigued, look forward to the tales of the journey (stunning trees, BTW).

    And I just figured out that your blog header is your T-shirt! So clueless!

    XBox–As is the part of Ohio where I live. This hills were nice.

    KarenMeg–Don’t feel bad, Zoe just noticed two days ago. I guess I’ll have to change it again. Keep everyone guessing.

    Road trips are the best. I just did my very first one where I was responsible for all the driving! It was a blast.

    Love the photos and the rolling hills.

    I can’t wait to take road trips with Lukas. Looks like a lot of fun!

    By the way, I tagged you for a film meme over at my site. Check it out and play along if you can.

    What are those green things on the trees? My indoor plants have them but the plants outside do not (though they are FINALLY starting). It is so cool that you got to take such a fun sounding trip with the kiddies, and to a more pleasant climate, sweet!

    Maureen–Doing all of the driving was a bit taxing but overall we had an absolute blast.

    James–Start em’ young so he thinks road trips are just a way of life. The twins were 6 months old on our first road trip to Louisiana.

    Karen–I thing they’re called leaves. I hadn’t seen any in a while myself.

    OHmommy–Thanks. I took nearly 900 photos in 10 days. I may have been a bit shutter happy. The trip was a blast.
