Every now and then, Chad and I try to get away for a weekend to bond again. You know how life gets crazy busy and you just sort of pass in the night. One of us is taking one to practice, the other is staying home getting the others ready for bed and getting supper cleaned up...just the normal everyday stuff. We usually only do one a year and try to keep it cheap because...well we have too! Earlier this year we went to a state park and I have to say that was our BEST getaway ever. We just kinda hung out...enjoyed God's creation and enjoyed each other's company instead of going all the time.
Thankgiving weekend, we decided to take another quick, cheap trip to Memphis. The kids stayed with Nana and Pappy. We are ever grateful for them being willing to keep all three! It wasn't the best time we've ever had, but it was good to get away for a while. Everything in Memphis was so expensive to do, so we just went to a couple of museums and then out to eat. We went to Sun Record Studio, where Elvis, Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis were discovered. They had an awesome tour guide who really made it worth it! We went to the famous Beale Street and ate. That wasn't so fancy. It was kinda neat learning the history of the blues and all. We also went to the rock and roll hall of fame museum. But everything was so touristy.
Here are a few pictures!
This is by the river at night. Just across the way we could see Arkansas. Isn't that weird that 20 min away was Mississippi, we were in Tennessee, and you could see Arkansas.
This is the resturant we ate at Friday night. This lady was just a singing the blues. It was kinda funny to listen to her. She almost sounded like she was in church trying to get an "amen" section going.
This is one view down Beale Street
This is a lamp at the other resturant we ate at on Saturday. How weird is that, that people signed the lamp.
