Me and Charlie actually taking a break from eating and doing tourisy stuff

Fried Green Tomatoes.....mmmmmm

Route 44 limeade cherry! "Boo ya!

Memphis to Nashville

Today we began our day at Graceland. I've never really been an Elvis fan, but for some reason I've always wanted to go to Graceland. It was kinda interesting, but somehow smaller than I expected. There were some fun things though. Green shag carpeting on the floors and ceiling. hahahaha today's cool it tomorrow's tacky, eh.

Then we drove off to Nashville. We had lunch along the way. I made Charles stop at Bart's BBQ and I had fried green tomatoes. I was so excited about my fried green tomatoes that I took a picture. Then I realized that I had taken a picture of Bart's BBQ and one of my fried green tomatoes, but had not taken a single picture at Graceland! I guess we all have our priorities. lol

We're just back from a wonderful trip to Joann's Fabrics and supper. I didn't take any pictures at Joann's cause I was too busy buying stuff.

We went to TGIF's for supper. Charlie had the pecan encrusted chicken salad and I had the strawberry short cake. When they brought the food the girl looked at the two plates and gave me the salad and Charlie the shortcake. I asked him why is it that everywhere we go people get our orders mixed up? He said well if you'd stop ordering chicken fried steak.... and I said oh ya? Well if you'd man up and stop ordering salad....

And that was our day. Tomorrow...the Grand Ole Opery.....oh boy!

Road trip from Texarkana to West Memphis

(please read this blog using a Texas accent, thank you)
We left Texarkana this morning and made it to Hot Springs by noon. We climbed up a giant tower and saw all around. Then we decided to have lunch. I asked garmin where the closest barbeque and it suggested Micky's BBQ 2 miles outside of town. This bothered Charles cause he doesn't like going out and then back but talked him into it. Off we went and as we drove the neighbourhood got scarier and scarier. Determined to get BBQ I egged Charles on. Finally we found Micky's. It was closed.

So I asked garmin for any restaurant in Hot Springs. So we drove back (sorry Charlie) and looked for Bubbaloo's. When we got there it was a hot dog place. A hot dog place? Really? Well that wouldn't do so we went to Granny's Place. I had chicken fried steak.

At the table next to us there was a family with a 10 year old boy and a 14 year old girl, his sister, and their parents. (seriously, you have to read this in your best southern accent) Boy gets a shaved ice for dEssert and his sister doesn't want anything. It arrives and she asks for a bite. He says no, she yes, no, yes, no, yes finally he offers her a bite. She takes a taste. As he offers it to her he says see this is what they call being nice, in his best well bless your heart voice. She gets all pissed off and takes a huge spoonful while he's trying to knock the stuff off her spoon with his.

So then we go to this cool museum place thingy. While crossing the street there were 2 sisters having a slap fight. Mom says stop that right now. One yells Well I reckon you hadn't a otta smacked me. The other yells well I reckon you hadn't a otto shoved me. The first one yells I recon you hadn't a been walking so darn slow.

Well then it was time to drive to Memphis, but first we went to Sonic for a route 44. Ya!!!

Now we're in West Memphis. Tomorrow we go to Graceland, and I have an Ihop coupon.
Best drivecation ever!
