We had a great Spring Break (March 13-17). We drove up to visit Kimbery's grandparents in Indiana. On the way we spent a night in Memphis. On the way back we stopped at the Bill Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas. You can see some of our photos on our photo page. We'll be adding more photos soon.
At first glance Memphis didn't seem like the most glamourous vacation spot. I had been there fifteen years ago and wasn't too impressed. Since then downtown Memphis has been revitalized. The whole downtown area is now bustling with energy.
We usually come very close to Memphis on our trips to Indiana. This year we decided to actually stop and spend a night there. Memphis was a happening place while we were there. The Conference USA Basketball Tournament was in full swing (which the Memphis Tigers would actually win) and the Southern Republican Leadership Conference was holding their convention. Memphis was definately the place to be. We saw the Peabody Ducks, went to B.B. King's Blues Club on Beale Street and to Graceland the next day. I'll write about each in later posts.
Anyway, we had a good time. Kim's grandparent's were doing better than I expected. And now we're back in school counting down 'till summer.
