Memphis in February

 We were very delinquent in taking Ty & Christi on their "Wedding Weekend" since they were married in 2010! We finally found a time that would work for them & they chose to go to Memphis so Ty could show Christi where he was born & take in the sights & sounds...it's a bonus that family lives here, too!

We started our adventure at the Memphis Zoo. It is one of the best I've ever been to & we used to go often when the Carter Critters were little...of course Ty was too young to remember & it has changed in 30 years so it was like seeing it for the first time! Naturally, I was more interested in taking pix of the kids than I was of taking pix of the animals!

The next morning Ty wanted to do some touristy things so we went to the Peabody to see the Parade of Ducks, Beale Street, WC Handy Park, & the River Walk along the Mississippi. Trey seemed to like the windy riverfront before we stopped for lunch at the Flying Fish.

Grandaddy Carter worked for MLG&W for years & this made me think of him.

We spent Sunday at church & with family. It was fun to see the 3rd generation of Carter Critters together & share stories of Ty growing up...

Before we took headed to the airport, we wanted to re-visit the Peabody. We got there early enough for Trey & Fin to get a front row seat & the ducks went by sooooo fast! They also got a special treat from the Duck Master. We ate lunch at Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken & drove by Graceland before saying goodbye to Memphis.

Walking in Memphis brought back many memories for me. Even though Ty doesn't remember much about it, I was happy to share those memories with him & his sweet family.
