We’re here in Florida visiting my family over the holiday. I’m pleased to say I’ve already had homemade ice cream [courtesy of a visit with my Aunt Mary in Sturgis, Mississippi, on Monday. We also got to have some of her famous sour-cream pound cake, and a lovely visit with her and cousin Melanie]. That leaves barbecue and watermelon on the must-have list.
If you have never done so, make plans to drive the Natchez Trace Parkway. We took it from Nashville to Sturgis on Monday, spending a very enjoyable day on the road. There are lots of interesting historical sites to stop and take in, places to hike and several nice views. Best of all, there’s no one else on the road. The parkway’s 50 mph top speed limit keeps the gotta-get-there folks on other roads, and you can set the car on cruise for miles and miles at a time.
Bonus: Because you don’t go very fast, you’ll arrive at your destination with plenty of gas!
