We found a church that was also participating in the One Prayer series so we thought we would give it a shot. Shorline Church is an interesting church because it meets each Sunday in a Destin movie theater. The boys didn't quite ever figure out why they would do this. But, they pulled it off. One interesting thing about having church in a movie theater is that it forces you do church in a non-traditional way. Also, it forces you to stay on schedule because you have to get done before the Sunday matinees start.
Next stop was Mobile, Alabama and a visit to the USS Alabama. The area where the USS Alabama is located is also full of a variety of Navy and Air Force planes andthe USS Drum submarine. There is so much that you can't see it in just a few hours so we had to do an abbreviated tour of the USS Alabama.
After leaving the USS Alabama we headed to our next stop, Natchez, Mississippi. The trip was uneventful until the last 5 miles when Shelley, yes Shelley, got pulled over by one of Mississippi's finest. She was doing 58 in a 45 but I don't think the State Trooper was expecting to find a mother, a grandmother and 2 boys in car seats when he approached the car and he let us go on our way.
When we arrived at The Briars in Natchez, we all made an audible sigh. This was because it is an amazing place and second because the area we originally thought it was in is probably the worst area of Natchez. But, luckily we were in the wrong place. But The Briars is an amazing place.
The Briars was built between 1814 and 1818 by a wealthy planter by the name of John Perkins. It has a long history which included hosting the wedding of Jefferson Davis.
