all times are approx! this (and the rest of what i put for the schedule) is assuming we can leave right we all are out of class (or am i the only one w/ class on fridays?) and get there! :)

i put this first b/c it's a nice way to see what's around. if i remember right, the coke place is actually on part of one of them, so that'd work out very nicely...

we can stop at the visitor's center by the river (where we took pics w/ amber that time), and get the lil map thing. it's a tour (two, sorta) that you drive yourself for, just following the signs on the streets. easy to do, and best of all, FREE!

we HAVE to do this. last time we kinda rushed thru it, but it'd be really neat to get to go thru it at an easy pace and get to see everything. it's really a solemn (sp?) thing, and it's like the whole deal of vicksburg, and has lotsa fun photo ops!

i think i've eaten here before, but i'm not sure. either way, it sounds like fun! i put a huge block of time for the park, b/c that will take a long time, and we can bring snacks to keep from starving too much. i was thinking we could go from that to here to eat, or if we find someplace else to eat, or whatever!
