We spent the night in Memphis.
Rum Boogie Cafe is still our favorite. Gumbo, catfish, and live music - yum.
The next morning we set off for New Orleans. We stopped for gas before we got back on the interstate only to realize we were already in Mississippi; they're missing a 'Welcome to Mississippi' sign somewhere.
So - new state alert for the Life List! I thought it would be fun to stop for lunch in Jackson, all Johnny Cash-like, but had failed to research anything before we left. Instead we used restaurant finding apps, and after a little wandering around found George's Museum Cafe.
There's a sign in the cafe stating it's rumored that George Washington slept there.
If that cat could talk, what tales he'd tell...
But the cat was cool and he never said a mumbling word.
We walked through the museum courtyard to stretch our legs a little...and because Rob went a little crazy when he saw chicken fried steak and gravy on the lunch line...and I went a little crazy with a slice of pecan pie.

It's a nice little 'good old days' kind of place that probably sees a lot of school field trips, but that day it nicely served the purpose of adding another state to my list.

Whoa, haven't heard - or event thought of - that song in quite some time. Thanks for that link.
Of course it's going to be stuck in my head for a long time. That means your children are going to hear it and get it stuck in their impressionable heads and it will come full circle at you.
