We tagged along with Daddy on a work trip to Natchez. While Daddy was at his court hearing, we played! We started at the Natchez Visitors' Center where we watched a movie about Natchez. After the movie, we headed to the Natchez Indian village. There is a display of Indian artifacts that children are actually allowed, and even encouraged, to touch. The children were thrilled! They especially loved the squirrel hide, of course. We saw several Indian mounds and went inside a real Indian house. We also went on a nature hike. We had a great time! It was very hot at the Indian village, so we cooled off riding around downtown Natchez and looking at all of the beautiful antibellum homes. When the children tired of that, we found a park near the Federal Courthouse. The children loved the Civil War monument (Charlie wanted to know how the soldier got up there), cannon, and fountain. Charlie was especially in his element - he enjoyed skipping rocks in the fountain and climbing the old oak trees (those chains aren't to protect the trees - they are for climbing, right?). We caught up with Daddy at lunch - he treated us to a restaurant on the river. The view was amazing!
