Woo! We leave for MS today when I get off work!
This will be an unusual vacation for us. We usually go somewhere with a lot going on. But this time, the attraction is the house itself and relaxation. We'll be spending most of our time there. It's out in the country with a deck on a lake that has a covered patio. Jacuzzi in the main patio next to the house. Since we'll be celebrating Thanksgiving there and eating most of our meals there, it feels like we packed half our pantry and some of our fridge!
There's also a large national park nearby that we will do some light hiking in.
There is a cool sounding and highly recommended restaurant in town. It's prix fixe. Different parties are seated together at large tables and the food is served family style. Platters of three entrees and beau coup sides. The menu is what you'd expected from rural MS (in a good way). Homecooked southern classic, comfort foods. I'm really looking forward to it! We plan to go there for lunch tomorrow and will probably go a second time, assuming we like it.
