We arrived in Vicksburg in time to visit the Biedenharn Coca Cola Museum. It was here in 1894 that Coca Cola was first put into glass bottles. The owner of the store wanted this wonderful soda fountain drink to be available for country folks. Coca Cola ok'd it and began to officially bottle it a short time later.
We also stumbled upon Fred's Corner Pharmacy. It was an unofficial pharmacy museum. So if anyone sees the pharmacist in Ouray, Colorado who owns the pharmacy museum, please tell him to contact Fred's if he needs any more pharmacy memorabilia!
The following day we went to the Vicksburg National Military Park. It was a beautiful day so we biked the 14 mile loop in hilly territory that was to the advantage of the Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. After a few months of fighting, however, the South surrendered. Not before both sides had lost 20,000 men.

You're at 47 states! Whoohoo! one more to go!
When I first went to Arkansas, I went to a Taco Bell and ordered a mexican pizza (by far their best dish back then). When I would normally get them, they would be cut into quarters. But this one wasn't cut at all. When I asked the guy at the counter to cut it, he gave me a funny look and said "I've never cut one of these before". I proceeded to tell him that aside from Arkansas, the rest of the country did cut them. He said to me, "Well at least I'm wearing shoes!".
