Next stop...Natchez, MS

On the road...Hannah was able to come with us for our road trip!


Natchez, MS.  Home to Andrew G when he was a little guy and continued to make visits to his precious Mae maw (his grandma) who he loved with all his heart!

An old cemetery that is fun to visit, we have to hop the fence, which makes it more exciting!





Nothing like these homes...this one is called, Dunleith

Mae maw's house. 

Andrew was saying, 'and right here was the swing..."
We were trying to get to the car graveyard Andrew used to play around, but a big dog made us turn around...maybe next time.

We stayed at the old Eola Hotel, tallest building in Natchez downtown

"Real Hero's don't need capes"...Fire Dept!  Yeah Bobo!








Mighty Mississippi



Deveraux received a treasure from Tia, a doll, who she named Rosalie, and this is the antebellum home names Rosalie, so of course she had to stand in front of it!

A crazy wild house in the South

We have our places we stop when we come to Natchez and one important place is where Mae maw is buried.  We brought roses.



Even a cemetery can be a playground!
I had to take a picture of this house that had a For Sale sign on it!

This is the home called, Deveraux!



Special memories are here,  It is fun to go back and stop and see what is different and what remains the same.  Much of Natchez was the same.  It was wild to think of those that have been there their whole lives.  It is just a little southern town with big houses and run down small homes in the same neighborhood.  No Starbucks just one coffee shop in town.  It is quiet, tucked away, but people working and living day to day who call Natchez, MS home.  I am so glad Andrew and Dale (his dad) had a place like this to grow.
