Memphis

We had a wonderful trip to Memphis last weekend for my cousins wedding. We had a little bit of a rocky start by way of some car trouble near Texarkana, but once we had our rental we were back on the road.

Thank goodness Carl (a very skilled mechanic) and Ray were with me and the boys when this happened. Also, probably a plus that I wasn't driving when the wheel almost fell off.


We arrived pretty late in Memphis and headed straight over to the Waffle House where Jake and Carl had a chocolate milk drinking contest.


I'm hopeing that from this picture you can try to understand the magnitude of this church. I'm pretty sure it was a just a tad bit smaller than Town East mall. WOW


We had to take this opportunity to have a family picture taken.


Their wedding was beautiful. The pastor shared comments that they had written about each other such as the qualities they liked in that person. It was a very personal ceremony and touching.


We ate at BB Kings on Beale St that night. We had a live band playing as we chowed down on yummy Memphis BBQ. Really, I had no idea how good it was.


Jake helped us check out by driving the valet cart to EVERYONE's rooms.


We stopped at a Cracker Barrell on the way home and had a great time stretching our legs....


Aunt Laura bought Jake a "claw". He enjoyed it but I'm pretty sure that Tony, Trey, Ray, and Carl had a better time with it.
