I’m in Memphis for a few days while D is attending a design conference. While I did my normal level of research on activities and places to eat ahead of time, I didn’t plan everything out by the hour like I typically do. I dumped everything into a list on my Wunderlist app and have been flying by the seat of my pants, truly.
My favorite part of this trip, as usual, is the time I’m spending just walking around and taking photos.
I’ve spent a lot of quality time on Beale Street.
The neon signs are ridiculously fun.
Love and happiness basically sums it up around here.
I made a pilgrimage to Graceland and saw that Jungle Room, but I think the living room was my favorite.
I left my mark.
I’ve eaten barbecued brisket, fried chicken, grits, fried green tomatoes, and a few non-southern specialties (donuts).
I’ve alternated between feeling exhilarated from the experience of exploring on my own and wishing I had someone next to me, sharing it all.
I’m having a blast. Wish you were here.

I love traveling with you, IRL and virtually, too 🙂 And now I know that it’s Beale Street in the song and not “the real street” as I’ve been singing all these years, walking because fake streets is for posers. Ahem.

Because walking on fake streets is for posers, even. I should not be on the Internet, before I have had coffee, sugar.
