Tupelo, Natchez Trace and Driving!

It was a long day of driving today. We started off in Memphis, well actually, Southaven, Mississippi, just across the border from Memphis. We drove to Tupelo to check out the Natchez Trace. What a beautiful parkway. We spent a little time exploring the Trace, and headed over to Tupeolo, and visited Elvis' birth place. Toni is in Elvis heaven!!! She never expected to get to Graceland, but the bonus of his birth place, has made her day.

After a nice picnic in the Trace, we headed off again, for Hot Spring. Having gone east in the morning, we had an additional hour to drive back west to get to Hot Spring. It has been a beautiful day, 78 and sunny for most of the drive. We didn't drive on the interstate, since that would make for a much longer drive. It was nice to be away from all the traffic, especially the semi trucks. We had little traffic until we had to get on the interstate, near Little Rock.

Tomorrow, we have to decide what spa we will enjoy. Massages, pedicures and facials are on the list, along with the mineral baths. aahhh!
