Sal & Mookies

Our first Sunday in Jackson, I was blessed to spend the afternoon and evening with Miss S (Little Miss' birth mom). She and I went out for lunch at a Chinese restaurant, then she took me grocery shopping, so we could be stocked up on groceries for the week. What a thoughtful lady! Just as she was leaving our hotel, mike and Lynn pulled up with the kids! so she came in to the hotel with us and we all hung out for a while, and then decided to go out to eat together. We went to this place, Sal & Mookies. What a great restaurant we randomly picked out of the hotel phone book! They had THE BEST homemade ranch dressing, and were all very friendly.

By the way, I should mention that taking 3 kids, who have been driving for 2 days straight, to a restaurant in the evening to meet a birth mom for the first time, is not the best idea in the world. Of course, Ato T had the hardest time. (Miss S actually asked if we were sure we could handle another one.) We assured her it was because of all the driving and stress. Thankfully we had the chance to show her a more relaxed family just before we left for home.

Ice cream that made Miss I's mouth all blue. She LOVED it!
