November 14-16, 2009. Days 118-120 Memphis TN.

On November 14th we left the Wal-Mart in Lonoke AR and drove to Memphis TN, We actually drove to South Haven MS a small town on the TN MS border, 8 miles south of Memphis. We camped at the Southaven RV Park, a little park with full hookups that was quite nice. It didn’t take us long though to find out it sits a couple miles south of the Memphis Airport and when the planes are departing south they are pretty loud. We got used to it pretty soon though. It was a Saturday so we decided to stay at the campsite for the day because Kevin was very tired from sinus issues and needed to sleep a little before watching his UGA football game later that evening. We got the kids bikes out for the first time in months and they enjoyed that a lot. Kathleen went to the post office and to fax a timesheet so we did get some things done. Our plan was to go to downtown Memphis on Sunday after church and to Graceland on Monday to see Elvis’ mansion. Great plans, that didn’t happen after all. On Sunday we did our internet church but never left to go downtown. The kids were having a good time playing with other kids in the park and Andrew and Kevin were happy to just watch football. That’s what is great about this trip. We set our own schedule and although we almost always go do something in each town we were fine with just staying “home”. We did try to go to Graceland on Monday but they wanted $125 dollars for us all to get in and we thought that was way too much to pay to see gold shag carpet and 19” TVs from the 70’s. We instead went to see the movie “2012” and then went out to dinner. We liked that much better and the movie was incredible. BTW-GA beat Auburn 31-24! Go Dawgs!
