Memphis Tennessee

Guess I had better get caught up with the blog before I forget what we did.  We left my brothers house after having a great visit.  It was really good to see everyone again. 

From the left, my youngest brother Kevin, me and my brother Mark, who lives in North Carolina and is the next in line age wise.

This should probably be in the Nashville post....oh well.....
We parked in Kevin's yard, we fit right into the spot he had picked for us.


Back to Memphis.  I did not enjoy the drive through Memphis, apparently it is the trucking capitol of the United States and they all drive like they are nuts. We checked into the Tom Sawyer campground for a week
 in West Memphis on the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River.  Great campground right on the river.  We could watch the barges and boats moving up and down the river.
The campground is pretty low and right on the river so it can flood on occasion.  The laundry room and showers on steel frames and have axels and tires on them so they can me moved easily.
The first picture is the water level in 2011.






Of course one of the sites on the agenda was to see the Presley Mansion....well it was actually the reason we stopped in Memphis.







We enjoyed the tour and had lunch at the museum, I was temped to try the peanut butter and banana sandwich....but I didn't.
  It was worth it and it wasn't to busy when we were there.

While we were in Memphis we had to check out Beale street, if we were younger we would have checked it out at night but being of the Senior age we decided to check it out in the daylight.  It is pretty quiet.






Here is a link to rest of random pictures of our week there.
