We found several gems along the way and took some shots to document. We were pretty fortunate to not hit any nasty weather. We were right behind a storm and only got puddles! yeah puddles!
The trip to Memphis was tough for the little ones.. (Thank God for headphones and loud IPODS) they are getting sick and tired of the mini van and are not afraid to tell us how they feel. Sari typically screams and whines NON-STOP when she wants to pull over. ;) Steven Quote of the Year.. 'I can't take this car ride anymore!'.
To calm and rebuild morale and to detract from some sort of mutiny, we found a chuck-e-cheese' to make up for the pain and suffering we caused. Here's some irony.. The favorite attraction at CEC after the eternal screaming and whining road trek from Fort Worth to Memphis, seemed to be some sort of automobile ride.
Perhaps they're training for taking over the ship somewhere in Knoxville... Go figure. ;)
Joey hits the jackpot
After a good nights sleep in Memphis we headed for adventure and were off to Graceland!
We wanted to visit our cousin Elvis! ;) - Not sure if anybody knows this but awhile back Marie did her family tree through one of those ansestry sites and discovered that she's actually related to ELVIS!.. third cousin.. or somethin' like that.. which means that my second batch kids are cousins of Elvis... hmm 'Cousins of Elvis' That sounds like a great band name or song title..
Sari trying to pick the lock - cousin Elvis wouldn't mind
After Graceland we visited the Cafe next door to enjoy some Elvis favorites.. Deep fried foods! - fried peanut butter and bananna sandwich..umm good!
After a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to see who'd pay the tab, we were off to Knoxville!
