Day 4 - OK to MS

Day 4 and we were headed to Mississippi!  We left Oklahoma and headed through Arkansas and into Tennessee and Mississippi!  It sounds like a lot, but we clipped TN and only stopped 7 miles into MS.

I wish we would have had some more time to explore Mississippi because it was really pretty and the small town of Olive Branch where our hotel was was also really cute and quaint.

I wish I had more pics, but it would have required more driving..... :)  And after who knows how many hours in the car with 3 stir crazy kids, who wants to get back in the car to sight see..?!

Enjoy these pics!

Someone's ready to go!!!!!  By the time we hit this hotel, we had things pretty well stream-lined for what to bring into the hotel and what to leave in the car!

The next few pics are when Oklahoma actually began to look quite a bit different and nicer!!  But, I realized we were getting closer to crossing borders into Arkansas so that was why things started looking better!!  

Oklahoma


I love this picture... Oklahoma


We crossed the Arkansas River ... never knew it existed!


Stopped at a rest stop!


This thing was like 10 feet high!  I just let him climb since we was cooped up!

She said, "What!?  We have to get back in the car again?!"  

A running joke in our family is that when pics are taken of Joe he is always closing his eyes..  I think he's gotten better about it.... but this pic was classic... Notice all three boys with their eyes shut and Julia is wide aware! :)  That's my girl! 

One last shot of the pretty part of OK!


This is First Pentecostal Church.   A lot of churches from here on out have pretty tall steeples and some are fancy.


This..... is the "Old Miss, the Old Man" (from the movie Vacation).   Really, the Mississippi River!  So huge!
