I realized that I've done a lot of traveling this year, but barely have posted any photos. I'll try to start doing some photo dumps, starting with my trip to MS last weekend!
I started my trip off with a visit to Parlor Market. Oh my gosh, it was delicious.
Some jalapeno tequila cocktail. Yum!
Duck sausage with cheese grits and pork belly with brussel sprout kimchi.
My cute mama! We spent the day together in Jackson, but this was taken at the coffee shop in Vburg. We had so much fun! I was a dummy that didn't get a photo of the 2 of us together. I also forgot to get one of my grandmother.
We went to the cemetery to see Dad's grave. My hilarious mom said "Wouldn't it be funny if I laid down where my gravesite is?" Yes, yes it would be.
This isn't the prettiest photo, but this is my all time favorite meal in the world, from my favorite restaurant in the world, Goldies Trail BBQ. I've gotten this same meal every time I've been there (except once) since I was about 7 years old. It's a BBQ sausage sandwich, double meat, with a side of potato salad. SWOON. I devoured it, as always.
Then it was off to Starkville to see my oldest dearest friend in the world, Melissa, and her hubs Grady and kids Delia and Brooks. SO SWEET.
Brooks!
Delia!
The next morning, we headed out for the 15th annual Starkville Turkey Trot. It had record attendance--233!! MS is precious. :) It was essentially all uphill the whole time, but yet we ran it faster than my last 5K! The weather was glorious!
Besties!
NERDS!!
Later that afternoon, we went to get a mid-day snack downtown!
Pretty Melissa
Greek Nachos. Um, yes.
The next morning, we had brunch at Restaurant Tyler!
The kiddos! So sweet.
Fried Chicken and Waffles!
The best Bloody Mary I've ever had. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Then it was back to Jackson!
Bottle tree!
There is nothing finer than sitting outside barefooted drinking wine by a fire. Then you add to it, Chad and Elizabeth, and I am in heaven!
Sweet Chad. (Chad is my "friend cousin." Long story, but lets just say I love him.)
Elizabeth and Chad!
Chad is studying wine right now, and his double fisting was cracking me up. The wine was delicious, by the way.
Fire! Fire! Fire!
NERDS.
SQUEEZE!
Lovies!
Elizabeth is one of the best cooks in the world, and she made this incredible gumbo from scratch! Oh man. Not only that, but she froze some so I could take some back to Fuzzy on the plane! It made for a great meal the next day!
Oh, Mississippi. I do love you so! Days and days of eating and drinking--can't beat that!!

Um, Greek nachos, why is this not a widespread phenomenon?!?!
