Beale St.

We went to Memphis for a PPA conference that totally rocked! We met some great people and learned more than we could have ever imagined. It was just awesome! It was a good thing we had the conference going on because I'm not sure how we would have filled our days in Memphis otherwise. :) We went to Graceland, the Gibson guitar factory, Beale St., and stayed at the Peabody. As far as we could tell that was the extent of the attractions other than Sun Studios which we never made it to.

We logged over 1,900 miles and crossed the Mississippi 6 times...yes 6! We opted for 4 lane interstates which took us from Iowa to Illinois, to Missouri, then Arkansas and finally to Tennessee! The 1,900 miles? Oh yeah, we had a few extra hundred because little Maddoxx decided to get sick while we were gone and her grandma and grandma came to her rescue after a couple x-rays, 2 shots, new food and a nice vet bill later. Thanks Erin for putting up with her and her sickness!!! You rock! So after the 12 hour drive from Memphis we drove an additional 6 hours round trip to pick the little diva up. She is something!
