Memorial Day Weekend 2009

With some last minute decisions, J.R. and I both ended up in Memphis for the weekend. My best friend Amber lives there and I had been planning on visiting her for some time. Things just kind of fell into place Thursday evening and by Saturday morning at 9am (it would have been earlier if I hadn't gotten my key stuck in the lock on my apartment door and J.R. and I hadn't spent some time installing a new deadbolt at 2am:)) we were on our way to West Tennessee.

Amber found several things for us to do, starting with a picnic at the river front during the "Memphis in May"activities. The weather did not hold off for the entire time we were out there, but we made the best of it and had a good time. The highlight of the day (especially for J.R.) was the airshow. It was truly incredible!



The next day we toured a little of the Mississippi delta, stood at the gates of Graceland, picked strawberries at a small local farm, drove a paddle boat around the lake at Shelby Farms Park, and ended our visit at a coffee shop playing Apples to Apples (my new favorite card game!:)). Thank you Amber and Mike for having us!
