A Visit to Memphis

This weekend we met my dad and Janice in Memphis and stayed at Janice's brother's house. We enjoyed our short time together by swimming at their house, going to the "Peabody Hotel" and watching the ducks walk the red carpet, eating some yummy barbecue, going to the zoo, and enjoying the music and night life on Beale Street. The drive was long and the girls hardly slept, but it was worth all the driving to get away and spend time with family.

The Peabody Hotel

Ashlyn got to sit near the red carpet and watch the ducks "march" to the elevator after a long day of swimming in the fountain. We couldn't see anything but luckily she got to. We then went on top of the hotel to look at the ducks and take pictures.



Ashlyn with the "Duckmaster" as I believe they call him.

The sun was in his eyes.


Zoo pictures

We went to the Memphis zoo on Saturday and got there early in the morning. We were glad to get there early as it was really hot!! Luckily there were air conditioned buildings. We didn't even make it through the entire zoo that day, but we had fun!

Ashlyn likes to push Breckyn in the stroller.

A picture of the family on the bridge, you can't see Breckyn as she's in her stroller.


Ashlyn looking at the gorillas. This one was enjoying the shade by laying on his back with his legs up in the air.


Ashlyn on the carousel with crazy grandpa steve!


These bears were very entertaining, especially when they started to fight.



Breckyn was surprisingly in good spirits after a hot day at the zoo!


Beale Street

Ronnie and I got a date night and went to Beale Street for the evening. We had lots of fun and met some strange people. The music was GREAT and I liked watching people get up and dance.

Out on the town. Nothing like listening to music in the park and enjoying a nice cocktail.
