Our Trip To Memphis - Day One

Dear Family and Friends,

It's Spring Break, and we decided to use it to explore Memphis, Tennessee. It's only about a 3-hour drive from Murray, but we've never been back since passing through during our move from Flagstaff to Murray.

This cold, cloudy morning, then, we left Murray and drove down to Memphis, a city on the Mississippi and on the Tennessee/Arkansas border. We went directly to the Children's Museum:

Wendy loves these places, and this was a good one. She found lots of interesting and educational things to do:

After the museum, we drove out to our motel.....a Radisson that is right on the grounds of the Memphis Airport, just below the control tower. I never realized that FedEx flew so many planes!

The neighborhood's a bit noisy....there goes another plane now....but it's safe, anyway!

After settling in we followed our GPS to an Ihop (can't get these in Murray), and enjoyed a tasty breakfast/dinner. Wendy especially enjoyed her "Build-A-Face" pancake:

And then it was back to the Airport, a game of "Zeus On The Loose", and then to bed. And so ends day one in Memphis. G'Day, mates!
