Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee

Before we headed out West, we went East....

to get some well deserved "relaxation" time and visit family, more specifically, Lona and Andrew in Memphis,Tennessee. We got spoiled during our stay with some of Lona's delicious home cooking (she's an AWESOME cook, hostess, wife and sister... and of course, Andrew is pretty Awesome too!) and some good Southern BBQ, Fried Chicken, and in my opinion, the World's Best shaved ice.

We also took two days to visit Nashville, TN where we got to go see a show at the Grand Ole Opry, walk around the Gaylord Opryland Resort, and visit The Parthenon at Centennial Park, a full-scale replica of the original Parthenon in Athens, which was built in 1897 as part of the Tennessee Centennial Exposition.

Thank you Lona and Andy for always making our visits enjoyable. We love you both and are excited for your little new adventure to begin as well!
