things to do in jackson ms: A Personal First.... My First 5K!
- 03/19/17 05:31 AM

Yesterday, I completed my FIRST 5K during the Hal's St. Paddy's Day Parade in downtown Jackson! The weather was perfect, and because the scenery was beautiful, I captured a few photos along the way.
Our state's capital … (14 comments)
