Walking in Memphis

While in Memphis we stayed at the Memphis Marriott Downtown.  We parked the car and for the most part walked everywhere!  It is such a neat city to explore on foot!

Of course we didn’t walk everywhere…we also rode the trolleys!

And when I insisted that we visit Beale Street to see all the neon signs?  We drove.

The street was completely blocked off by police.  We didn’t even attempt to stop and get out to take photos!  We circled the block several times as I attempted to snap photos.  And as we headed back to the hotel, I snapped this blurry photo of the lit up princess carriage!

On the road…

Two weeks ago we headed to Memphis, TN to participate in the the Free Will Baptist National Convention and the National Youth Competition.  It was a LONG ride through FOUR states…Georgia to Alabama to Mississippi and finally to Tennessee!  And long car rides make for one silly boy!

We spent Saturday night in Tupelo, Mississippi and arrived on the banks of the Mississippi River early Sunday morning.  We were so excited to have finally  arrived in Memphis!!!
