Yesterday morning we got up before the sun and started our drive to Memphis.
An early morning road trip with us is not complete without McDonald's delicious $1 sausage breakfast burritos, slathered with hot sauce.........
Its always a blessing to go to the temple....this time we got to help the youth with baptisms. It made me think back to my first times to the temple in young women's. I have always loved being there, its so quiet and peaceful, and so many important things are happening there, all day long.... Although not as quiet this time, with 14 silly teenagers, but still so good to be there.
Afterwards we headed to the Peabody hotel to see the duck march. In a perfect world where I got dressed a little faster and didn't like to talk so much we would have seen 5 or 6 cute little ducks waddle out this elevator........
down their little red carpet, and into the fountain......which they do everyday at 11am and head up back to the roof every evening at 5pm....so cute!
But we got there about 3 minutes too late and the were already in the fountain......
So I watched it on YouTube when we got home. :)
Next we headed to Beale street which is the home of the Blues and had a great time!
We ate a delicious lunch at BB King's Blues Club....
Mmmmmmm......grilled Mahi Mahi......
Listened to some great Blues music.....
and Joel enjoyed an icy cold, frosty Rootbeer
All that and we were back home in bed napping by 3:30 pm....
