This weekend we drove to Memphis Tennessee.....we left at 5:30am, it was pitch black, POURING rain, everything was flooded everywhere......kind of a nerve racking little start.....but we just filled up on McDonald's delicious breakfast burritos and slowly but steadily made our way. This first picture may look like a lake......its not! Its a field.....flooded with rain water.

First stop was the temple. Ahhhhh......It was so nice to be there......We really took for granted having a temple 20 minutes away back home, being able to go anytime we wanted. It was so quiet and peaceful and beautiful and refreshing.....and a perfect reminder of what this life is all about.
Driving around town was beautiful! Spring was popping up here and there....gorgeous blossoms on the trees......
Lush, greeeeeeeeen, beautiful fields......I wanted to kick of my shoes and run through them, or lay down and have a picnic.....but with all the rain I probably would have just gotten really muddy and cold....so I just took pictures from the car instead....
And of course....we couldn't leave without eating some good ol southern BBQ......

They started us off with complimentary red beans and rice....SO yummy!
It was full of the cutest little old men in bow ties, buzzing around.....
Really good food!
Cameron and Hillary enjoying their delicious ribs.....We had a really great time! Then we got in the car and drove back home....and took a really big nap!
