Memphis!

Dad and I got to go on a very fun father-daughter trip to Memphis this past Wednesday-Friday! It was so much fun!!

We went to:
-Graceland (which I- surprisingly- really enjoyed!)
-the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks
-the Pink Palace Museum, saw two great IMAX movies at the Pink Palace Museum (one about the Alps and the other about Lewis and Clark)
-the Civil Rights Museum
-rode the trolley (and got laughed at for accidentally being on the trolley that just goes up and down the same street :o)
-drove over to Arkansas

We ate at Rendezvous the first night and had ribs- yum! We ate at the Flying Fish the second night- fried seafood and fries- one night which was good. On Friday afternoon we ate at Hueys- burgers and fries. It was all very tasty!

I really enjoyed getting to spend time with dear Dad!

I also learned about the SEC and NCAA basketball tournaments! ;) But on the way home I had Disney trivia time with Dad! haha poor Dad :o)

Here are some pictures! More to come!

THE weirdest store ever. They have EVERYTHING! It was crazy!!!

On the roof of the hotel! It was super windy!
