While we were there, we visited Aunt Mildred (my great-grandfather's only surviving sister), Pyles Cemetery, my grandparents' home in Tigertown, the "dirt road" (and hay bales!), the Paris town square, and many other sites of family importance. We got together with the Roams several times, and the kids loved playing with their cousin Madison. We were also treated to a refreshing stay at James and Darenda's house just outside of town. James made his famous cinnamon toast for the kids, and they watched him work in his upholstery shop. They also went for a walk in the "forest" and did a little hunting.
The trip was a big hit, so we've decided to make it an annual October tradition.
