We arrived in Jackson, Mississippi before check-in time for our Airbnb, so we took advantage of the sunny (and humid) weather and spent some time at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park. The kids had a run around on the playground and Seb got some great pictures of the wildlife, in particular some beautiful bird life. We also convinced ourselves we saw an alligator or two pop its head up above the water but of course didn’t manage to get photographic evidence. Our Airbnb was a lovely house very close to LeFleur’s, some cafes and, more importantly, a bbq restaurant right across the road called “Pig and Pint”.
The following day was mostly raining so we had a slow morning then went to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science – Moose loved looking at the dinosaur skeletons and fossils and then got to meet and touch a tortoise and an alligator. That evening we took advantage of the Pig and Pint for dinner.
The next morning we packed up and left for New Orleans.
