Exploring Memphis: Music, History, and Adventures
“When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?” 🎶🎶

I do so love this song!

In our two days in Memphis, we
🎸Walked down Beale
🎸Listened to live music
🎸Found Elvis
🎸Ate fudge
🎸Ate barbecue (twice!) - Central BBQ won for taste, Rendezvous for cool factor
🎸Saw the Peabody Hotel ducks
🎸Explored the Bass Pro Pyramid
🎸Drove by St. Jude’s and talked about the awesome work they do there
🎸Said hi to real-life besties in Memphis
🎸Drove over the Mississippi River
🎸Did the Pink Palace Museum
🎸Saw so much history…
.
And did so safely! My parents, who lived here years ago, were nervous about our visit for sure. Memphis is a rocky downtown - if you don’t do well with homeless people, it might not be your place. We went downtown mid-day, stayed in a hotel outside of the city, had talks about awareness and safety, and did just fine.

Did I miss seeing the best of Memphis - other than the zoo? ❤️
