Friday Drive

My Friday off was lots of fun. I had a few errands to run. We got the rental truck, so that was extra nice.

While we were out, Jon wanted to go to Best Buy. He wanted to look at GPS systems. I have been wanting one. Since my birthday is this Wednesday, I had a feeling that he was thinking about getting one for me. I was right! We looked at them and we found one that we both liked.

So we check out, and I was eager to try it out. I had been wanting to go to the Windsor Ruins . Especially after recently seeing the movie Ghosts of Mississippi, since some of it was filmed there.

The choice was between the Windsor Ruins or the Tezcuco ruins. We decided to go to the Windsor, since I have mentioned them several times.

We had a nice drive, but realized something as we got to the Mississippi border. We were not supposed to take the rental out of the state! So we turned around and went to the Louisiana tourist information center.

While we were driving, I mentioned that I wanted to go to Greenwood some day. Which I jokingly call Resolute, since that is what the homes was called when it was in the mini-series North and South.

We found out that we were not that far away, so that is where we decided to go! How awesome! I took pictures, but I have not downloaded them yet. It was interesting to see, especially since the original home burned to the ground. It was rebuilt. The home had a very interesting story.

Other things have been filmed in the home as well. Jonah Hex being one of the most recent.

Over all, we had an awesome drive and it was so cool trying out my new GPS!
