We've got the Blues....

Those Memphis Blues. Yes, we are in Memphis tonight. Just got here, and checked into the downtown Marriott. It is raining to beat the band. What a long day today was...but tomorrow will be even longer.
We went to the Oklahoma Memorial this morning before leaving Oklahoma City. I cannot tell you how depressing that was. The memorials to the little babies and children who died in the Federal Building that was bombed just made us weep. The memorial was very interesting. They had the axle from the Ryder Truck that Tim McVay used, as well as other items the FBI used to build it's case. But the most impressive thing was the stories of the survivors and the heros. It was worth doing, but is very emotional.
From there, we drove and drove. We stopped at a McDonalds for lunch, bought it, and ate it on the road. The kids watched Narnia, High School Musical and Elf on DVD. Ansley says this is what is getting her through this trip!
We are about to go fight the rain and see Beal Street. Tomorrow morning we are going to Graceland and say hello to Elvis. Following our "paying of respects to the King", we are heading home. We are going to drive all the way back tomorrow, realizing that we won't be home until tomorrow night. Oh, how I long to sleep in my own bed.
Well, tomorrow's post will be the last....
Hope you are enjoying our recaps as much as we are the trip.
No comments today? Is anyone out there?
till next time...
