Mall of Memphis

So, on our way back from Alabama, we went through Memphis, TN. It was around lunch time so we thought we would stop by the Mall of Memphis to get some lunch. Only problem, it wasn't there. Turns out it was on the map, dated 2003, but it closed that year and was demolished also. Too bad. The pics on the site, which is a memorial to the place (weird), show it to be pretty modern and stuff. Shame. The area did seem a little blighted though.

Tomorrow we head up to the Hughsons' so we can go to Springfield on Saturday and see Grandma and Grandpa Nelson. First time for Nate to see his Great-Grands.

Should be fun.

Sweet Home Alabama

Well, this weekend we went to Alabama to see my friend John Spitzmiller and wife Ginger and kids. They live in Huntsville.

We left Thursday night around 4:30 and stopped off in Nashville, TN for the night. We stayed at the Red Roof Inn. It was a pretty good room, only the latch on the bathroom door didn't quite latch all the way, so little Nate would come and push open the door, because he wanted to look in the mirror that was attached to the door. He behaved pretty well and we got a good sleep.

That morning we got up and drove to Columbia, TN and stopped off at a diner called Lucille's. I wouldn't recommend it. Lynn got the ham steak, it smelled like wet socks. Also I got biscuits and gravy and the gravy had weird grease globules in it. Horrendus. We only ate half our stuff and left. We stopped by Lynchberg, TN next and visited the downtown. That is the home of Jack Daniel's. We got to see some Tennesee walking horses also, along with some Tennesee walking cows (not that impressive, they walk, BIG DEAL!!!).

That night we went to Huntsville and ate at Beauregard's. It's such a great place.

Saturday we went to Fall's Mill. Sunday we went to their church, Jackson Way Baptist Church .

Monday we came back. Nate was so good in the car. Although we had to play lots of peek-a-boo. He got to stop and eat at his first Flying J Truck Stop. I had the roast beef plate, it was good.

Of course, we didn't take Jackson, He was boarded up at Happy Tails Pet Motel. He is pretty tired right now. they do an open boarding, crateless policy. He's a good pup though. I will post pictures soon of the trip.

Here's a pic of us in front of the Mill:
