  3. I personally love fried catfish and grits with butter......as you know I am a very healthy eater. But these are two things I can not hold back and eat when I see/smell them.......grits with butter and catfish with hot sauce! Knowing your track record I really can not believe that you did not get any traffic or speeding violations-HA! I can not wait to see all the pictures and talk to you about the trip! I know it was a great time!

  5. Matt,
    I was so surprised that I enjoyed the catfish po boy...and grits are awesome. Actually, maybe its the butter, cheese and everything that makes me like grits. Great stuff for sure. I can't wait to share all the photos & videos with you. If you want, I'll send Dad home w/a DVD for you that includes all of the pictures (over 200) and video clips (27). I'm excited about not getting any speeding tickets. I was a little worried in Mississippi...they probably send you to jail for speeding:) Thanks again for following along with us. You are the best.
