I have been in a book club for over a year with a group of my closest friends and it is so fun! For the month of October we read Greg Iles' Turning Angel. He is an author from Natchez who writes very suspenseful novels, so we thought it would be a good October read. We decided to take a trip over to Natchez to see the actual Turning Angel in the cemetery and then have dinner at The Castle. To minimize the hassle, we decided to rent a limo...cheesy, I know, but we had so much fun! Here are Kate and Quinn wishing they could go with us!
When we got to the cemetery (and our limo driver had to think that we were totally nuts, but she didn't say a word!) there was a brochure with several different historical markers...we really wished we had more time to explore. Here we are with the Turning Angel, a monument of much lore in the Natchez community.
...and here are the boys with her...notice how reverent they are...
The cemetery is on a bluff overlooking the river and it is gorgeous. We got there just in time for a beautiful sunset. Our visit also coincided with the Annual Balloon Festival, so we did see a few hot air balloons drifting over the Mississippi.
Some of the headstones were so intricate and amazing...we all were really impressed with this one. (Did people really call him P.U.?) And here we are below enjoying a delicious dinner at The Castle. Fun night!
