As we were winding up our stay in Texas, we had to eat more Mexican food as well as make a stop by Whataburger!
As we came into LA we saw these banners and realized that every town has to be famous for something!
In Vicksburg we made a stop at the Battlefield and saw the Cairo…a Civil War Union vessel that the Confederates sank in 1862. It was raised during the 1990s and is an interesting site to visit. The National Cemetery is always a solemn place to reflect on our history.
We normally take pictures at the Texas monument but since we were headed back to Tennessee, we opted for this monument.
The sweet spring smells were wonderful along the way and were produced by some of these type of flowers.
Aggies gathered together on June 26, 1883 to live over again their college days, the victories and defeats won and lost upon the drill field and classroom. Eventually the annual gathering evolved into a celebration of Texas Independence on San Jacinto Day – April 21st. Over time the gathering was named "Muster" and even though the tradition has changed, but its very essence has remained “If there is an A&M man in one hundred miles of you, you are expected to get together, eat a little, and live over the days you spent at the A&M College of Texas.”
