We headed to East Memphis in Arkansas to visit with our daughter and grandchildren. We stayed at the Tom Sawyer's RV Park on the Mississippi River. The adventure begins at their place for a wonderful dinner and visiting.
The next morning we went down to the River Front visitor center. From there we took the bridge over to Mud Island and walked around. They have a miniature replica of the Mississippi River showing everywhere it goes. They also have the large Memphis sign.
From there we headed to Hueys for lunch. After lunch we headed down to Beale Street to walk and see it. We also checked out a church. Then we walked back down to the river walk and then visited the
Pyramid AKA Bass Pro Shop. It is really nice with lots to see. After that we went back to the campground and watched the Tugboats pushing the barges past.
Friday we went to see the ducks march at the Peabody Hotel. It has a really cool history. We ate lunch at Kooky Canuck which had really good food. After lunch we dropped Melissa off for work, Samantha off for a nap, and we walked across the Mississippi on the Harahan Bridge.
Saturday we went to see the Lorraine Hotel where MLK was shot. Then we went to see the some historic homes and churches. From there we went to see Graceland, where I think I saw Elvis peeking out a window, and then on to Overton Park and hiked the Old Forest Loop trail. Very large trees, lot's of wildflowers, and a snake. On the way back we went to see the girls school in Marion and stopped by to see Melissa at the Seafood Shack. We had dinner back at the campground.
Sunday we headed home. It was a great time and saw lots of stuff.
