Southern Tour Day 1

Allison's Spring Break was officially underway with our flight to Memphis, TN today to begin our southern road trip to see 4 SEC colleges.
We didn't land until dark, but had to see Graceland since in Memphis.  No time for a tour, but can say we've seen it.  The home and grounds were beautiful, but it sits on a very busy street next door to a Taco Bell and other commercial buildings.  That kind of took the magic away!
We checked into the hotel and asked the shuttle driver for a good dinner spot at 9:30 at night.  We quickly learned Beale Street is the "french quarter" of Memphis.
A lively street closed to cars and full of bright lights, loud jazz music and lots of Memphis BBQ!


We stopped in to Blues City Cafe and got a good sampling of some of the favorites...delicous ribs, baked beans, cole slaw, white toast and fries.  Yum!
