Memphis!

So, the story goes like this:
Sam was watching a show on the best of regional barbecues on the Food Network. One of the regional stops was Memphis, where the Steenbergens lived for a year. They showed a places that Sam liked. The next morning at work Sam's Mom asked if Sam had seen the show. I guess the trip to Memphis was planned by the end of the day. (This was over Labor Day- so I'm a little behind...)

Here's the Pyramid in Memphis (get it? As if it's Egypt instead of Tenessee?). It's an arena where the local college and the Memphis Grizzlies either played or still play their basketball games. We're not sure if the Grizzlies still play there.



A view of the bridge to Alabama. This marks the closest I've ever been to Alabama. Who knew Memphis was so far away?


Looking toward downtown Memphis from Mud Island Park in the Mississippi River. You can see part of the scale model of the Mississippi River that runs all through the park (I believe it's the delta). It's pretty cool, definitely worth a stop.


Downtown Memphis. There's a trolley that runs back and forth through the center of town and a pedestrian only road. Kinda neat, but the trolley is pretty useless other than looking cool.
