Memphis Trip!


Saturday morning Justin and I decided to go to Memphis to eat at a famous BBQ restaurant. We saw it on the food channel and knew it would be awhile before we got the chance to go there. It's only a 4 hour drive, not too bad. The BBQ was really good! It was the best we've ever had. It was worth the trip. We ended up staying the night there, so we could see Graceland the next day. (It's Elvis' house)

So the next day we went, and it was really fun. I was a little disappointed though, it just seemed disrespectful to me that they have his personal life out for the world to see. To me it should be private. They had his wedding suit and his wife's wedding dress out for tourists to see, that kind of upset me. I know if it were me, I wouldn't want all my things being photographed like that. I didn't think I would react that way, it surprised me. But we did get to learn a lot about his life. I didn't know that he was drafted into the army for the war, and it was interesting seeing his interviews on tape. 


Tommy was really good the whole trip, and he got his first taste of yogurt and loved it. He also got a lot of attention from the other people there, and of course he loved that too! He is going to be walking really soon, he pulls himself up and stands on his own all the time now. He loves getting around on his own and grabbing anything in reach. He is such a sweetheart, and a really happy baby! Here are some pictures of Graceland.
