We toured the beautiful campus, ate at the rebel market dining hall, visited the Pavilion, and attended a baseball game in the evening.

The official slogan of the Holly Springs, Mississippi Tourism & Recreation Bureau is "All Kinds of…read moreCharacter," describing the town's rich history, culture, and unique attractions. As a proud native of the North Mississippi Hill Country region, I think "All Kinds of Character" is also a great way to describe the larger region. The University of Mississippi, for instance, is home to the following: - The Center for the Study of Southern Culture - The Ole Miss Blues Archive, one of the largest collections of blues recordings, publications, and memorabilia in the world - Mississippi Freedom Trail Markers - The Jackson Heart Study, the largest, longitudinal study of cardiovascular disease in Black Americans; a partnership between the NIH, Tougaloo College, Jackson State University, the Mississippi State Department of Health, and the University of Mississippi Medical Center (in Jackson) - Rowan Oak, William Faulkner's former home - The university has also played a major role in sustaining the state's strong arts and sports traditions, helping Mississippi produce the most writers per capita, the most Grammy winners per capita, and the most NFL Hall of Famers per capita. Seven former Ole Miss football players and a former Ole Miss co-defensive coordinator are actually part of the 15 coaches and players that will represent Mississippi in Super Bowl LX on Sunday. Hotty Toddy!

His father who served in the National Guard and was active duty, will be retiring from the police force in 10 years. He has his own plane and plans to flight privately to keep income coming in once he retires. His son is interested in going into the Air Force Academy at this time. During the flight he had to combat a wasp in the cockpit which he is not fond of and his mom was so proud he was able to handle the situation so maturely. It won't let me post the video clip so I took a pic of it as a visual. It was so thoughtful for Delta State to be a part of this program offered by about one dozen colleges. It is a generous $20,000 scholarship. He is learning so much and it has been a fantastic experience for him.

This is the overflow-overflow lot for Ole Miss football parking. We ended up here when all the…read moreother lots for RVs were full. We ended up being the only ones there, except for a few cars at gametime and right before and after. So not good if you want to party, but great if you want to sleep. We did the Grove and Square and hung out in one of the Ole Miss Rv lots as well, so we pretty much got the full experience anyway. This is a good place to park if you want to avoid the insanity of, well, pretty much every other place in town.
