Not necessarily Civil War related, but one of these days, I'd like to go check out these two spots between Natchez and Vicksburg:

Yep, the last 2 summers I rented a big SUV and drove to Tennessee and Missouri respectively. No issues. If you are in BR, I rented from the Seigen Lane location....
re: Silver Dollar City or Dollywood in October
Posted by DrewTheEngineer on 6/23/24 at 10:59 am
Perfect timing ... We just got back from Branson yesterday and spent 2 whole days at Silver Dollar City. Last July we went to Pigeon Forge and spent 2 whole days at Dollywood. My kids are currently 14 and 12.
Rides:
I recall Dollywood having one or two more roller coasters. I can't ride them ...

This right here. Sure, most people probably don't enjoy working, but when it comes to this point it time to start looking elsewhere.

re: Do you use your dining table?

Don't have a dining table. Mostly eat at the kitchen bar.
What is supposed to be the dining room at my house is too small for an actual dining table, so we use the room for other stuff....
re: RV camping within 5-6 hrs from Baton Rouge

Try North Toledo Bend State Park. Went about 10 years ago during the summer. About 4 hours drive time from Baton Rouge with camper, if I recall correctly.
If you're bringing young kids, there are nice hiking trails, a playground, and big swimming pool....
Recommendations for Branson Missouri in mid-June with kids (young teens)
Posted by DrewTheEngineer on 6/4/24 at 9:34 am
Going the week of June 17-22 with 14 and 12 year-olds.
Allocating 2 days for Silver Dollar City theme park / water park. The kids love roller coasters, so if ther like the theme park enough we might skip the water park and do 2 days at the theme park.
Allocating 1/2 day for ziplining / ropes ...
re: car seats when traveling by plane
Posted by DrewTheEngineer on 5/30/24 at 11:04 am
If I recall correctly, we brought the car seats onto the plane, and strapped them to the airplane seats. The kids sat in the car seats. Used the car seats in the rental car when we got there.
We bought some huge backpacks that the car seats fit into and wore the backpacks into the airport....

Day 1: Legoland
Day 2: In-city zoo
Day 3: Sea World
Day 4: Air craft carrier, hang out in Balboa Park
Day 5: Safari Zoo

Worth upgrading 11 year old DSLR for Mirrorless (Nikon specifically)
Posted by DrewTheEngineer on 5/8/24 at 10:09 am
I have a Nikon D7100 which was released in 2013. Not really looking to buy a new camera, but I noticed Nikons prices are currently slashed a good bit. For example, the z6ii is currently about $500 off across the board.
I would consider myself far from an avid photographer, and I rarely venture ...
