A Wacky and Fun Vacation

Just got back from Mississippi, went to visit my grandparents, my uncle, and a few family friends. It was pretty fun and relaxing to go off into the country side of Vicksburg (where my grandparents live) so it was pretty quiet and peaceful. We spent two weeks there, and over those two weeks it was a wacky and fun time. One of my main discoveries was that not too many people in the south enjoy anime. Upon taking a trip down to a Best Buy in Jackson, the anime aisle was desolate. The prices were the same, only that there were plenty of copies of whatever anime you could name. I saw like a few people in the aisle, but it was so remote that you could probably conduct secret business transactions there. Speaking of anime it was the very same place I managed to snag a copy of the Love Hina complete collection. I got the last copy so sorry to anyone in the area that wanted it =P.

We spent the 4th there as well. We had a whole bunch of family friends over for barbeque (that how you spell it?) then we shot off some fireworks. Now the fireworks there aren't like the sissy stuff you'd find here in the west. Since its so humid there and its the south, they sell all sorts of illegal stuff. Explosives and you name it are all there. We had an interesting turn of events when we had a motar misfire so that a was loads of fun. All in all it was a good trip and it really meant a lot to my family down there. Since we only visit every year so our time there is special. To my grandparents its like all the major holidays smashed together into two weeks. Other than that its always good to be home here and in the south.
