I am really not sure what day it is since they have felt like Saturday. After the crazy rain storm last night we are eager to do more exploring. First order of business is finding a good Southern Breakfast. Dave thinks he has found the perfect spot. We are all game to find it and try it.
Biscuits & Gravy
They sure look yummy.
French Toast with a side of bacon
Check out the menu.
The biscuits were light and fluffy.
However, the gravy was nasty. Sweet, grainy, and an odd color.
Ryder tried some and declared that Bishop's was much better.
I agreed and a whole lot cheaper.
Dave & Ryder like theres and finished theirs.
We are full and Ryder found the only car museum in Memphis "Edge Motor Museum" on Marshall Avenue.
Starting of with a guide.
This is going to be fun
checking out all that is downstairs.
Special exhibit just down the hall.
Only 2 cars and nothing special.
Ryder found this car
very fascinating. He studied it for about 1/2 hour.
We came, we saw, and time to move on. How about walking down the street to Sun Records. Maybe catch a tour. We found it without much difficulty since you could see once you walked out the door of the museum. What we didn't expect was the 20 people crammed into the small foyer. Nope, not today. We say a replica at Graceland.
Sun Records
Not at all what we expected from the movies.
Ryder standing still with a slight smile
Loved the street signs
We still had most of the afternoon to explore. I wanted to exchange a couple t-shirts bought yesterday at the Bass Pro Shop. It would also be the perfect time to pickup something for the girls & Ruston. This didn't take too long. How about taking a paddle boat cruise down the Mississippi.
The water looks even dirtier the closer you get to it.
We were cold up on top.
Much warmer down here.
Listening to the tour guide.
He was great with plenty of stories and Memphis trivia
Our souvenir photo
This angle of the boat looked pretty good.
Other tourists doing some dancing.
They were pretty good.
BB King Blvd & Beal Street
It was a crazy place with people everywhere.
We didn't park to get a closer look.
Exhaustion!!
Another day in books.
Fresh air, sunshine, and cooler than usual temperatures.
It was an early night.
Good night!! Breakfast with Al & Sondra and then back to the airport for the trip home.
