Most of us bought souveniours while we were in Biloxi . After being in Biloxi all afternoon and all the sightseeing we did, we didn't get back to our hotel until 11:00 p.m. Part of our sightseeing was driving across the Lake Ponchatrain Causeway. It is 24 miles long and is the longest bridge in the world. A group of us went out to eat even though it was pretty late. We didn't get back to our rooms until about 12:30. We were sure worn out, it had been a fun and very busy day.
The next morning we checked out of our hotel and headed out of town on our way to Vicksburg, Mississippi. We toured the Vicksburg battlegrounds, and then went on to Pine Bluff, Arkansas. We checked in to the Pine Bluff motel, which was the prettiest place we stayed. We headed on home the folowing morning and got to Reeds Spring around 4:30. We all had a wonderful time but sure were tired. We all called our parents to tell them we were back and to please come get us. They were on "stand-by" to come get us, but there was no way we could've projected what time. This was several decades before the cell phones. A group of us sat at the counter in the drugstore and had a coke while we waited for them.

Wow! I don't remember a senior trip nearly that cool. In fact, I don't remember a senior trip at all! What a great memory!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think you had a senior trip. I do remember most of it, but I have to admit I got a little of the information from my "senior memories" book.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm fairly certain we didn't have one. Of course, our senior class was about 400 kids, I think. Much more expensive to have one for a group that size.
ReplyDeleteThis trip sounds wonderful! Sure beats my senior trip..we just went to six flags. Thanks for sharing this story!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't have a senior trip, but we did have a sanctioned senior skip day as you mentioned in an earlier blog. As I recall, one of my friends ran over dad's pull cart and broke one of the wheels. Dad was not happy...probably a good thing he was over seas at the time.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember that.
