OUR TRIP TO MEMPHIS, TN
I have the best In-Laws in the world! Trey took off May 22 or so to go to D.C. and Brooklyn and I went back to Chattanooga with Judy and Logan just joined them in everything they were up to - Including going up to Memphis for 5 days! Fred is now working there, and they will be moving there in August. Fred usually drives down to Chattanooga on the weekends. This week, we went up to see him. It was my first time ever being in Memphis or seeing the Mississippi, so that was fun!

We did a riverboat tour of the Mississippi. No Graceland this time, but I saw Sun Records and other landmarks as we drove around!
Swam at the Hotel pool.

Had great weather!


Ate Real Memphis BBQ - RIBS!


Brooklyn liked the Banana pudding best though.

We also got to see our dear friends the Gruwells - well, Melanie is now a Pitcher and Mellissa is a Hodgens (Check out their blogs - they are increidble!) But they are part of the incredilbe Gruwell family. The three of us met up with our 4 kids and went to a little fountain waterpark. Unfortunately I wasn't in much of a picture mood that day...

An aboslute highlight of my trip though, was seeing an angle on earth, Melanie and Mellissa's Sister Lindsey. Check out her blog and be inspired.
She is at the St. Jude Hospital in Memphis, fighting her third baught of Cancer. They just destroyed all of her bone marrow and took her sister Melissa's bone marrow and gave it to her! She is responding miraculously and seeing her was inspirational. She is so happy and upbeat I couldn't believe it! Well, read her blog if you hava a moment or need a pick-me-up!
