(Craig writes) We had a great breakfast time with family at a Cracker Barrel in Georgia this morning followed by a sweet send off prayer. Wow, what a neat family God has blessed us with!
Shortly after leaving Georgia and entering Alabama we entered our first time zone change, (to Central time). Our cell phones picked up on the transition and automatically adjusted to the correct local time, (yeah technology). We stopped tonight, (Sunday 10-12), at Olive Branch, Mississippi which is just a couple of miles from the Mississippi River and Memphis, TN. For dinner we went to a local BBQ place to sample the Memphis BBQ ribs, (see above pic also note gas price here). They really are as good as they are promoted to be! Between the oohs and aahs of munching on the ribs Becky and I got to talk with our young lady server a bit. We asked her to give us some suggestions of things she considered "must sees" while in Memphis. After a brief pause she said "Graceland and Beale Street". Upon our arrival back at our hotel we asked the same question to the Desk Clerk and got an identical answer, "Graceland and Beale Street"! Now don't get me wrong, I love "Jail house rock" and "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog" as much as anybody but I am too cheap to pay $68.00 a piece to take the Graceland tour, (sorry Lisa Marie). As for the Beale Street part, I plan to have another plate of ribs for lunch tomorrow!
By Monday night we plan to be in Clarksville, Arkansas in the Ozark mountains. The Fall colors should be pretty as we travel through. Stay tuned...
