Today we woke up early again, and on Tennessee time, finally! (thanks Jessica for getting us back on schedule) With some time to spare, and the temperature index of 103 degrees, we set out to the Mississippi River and check out Mud Island as well as the Peabody Hotel complete with duck show! That’s right – duck show! We traveled to one of Memphis’ nicest hotels and gathered at 11am for the ducks of the Peabody to come down from the 12th floor skywalk, and enter into the lobby fountain. Let’s just say these ducks live in nicer conditions than us - who knew ducks would attract so much attention!
After some sightseeing and eating lunch we set out for the highway to Atlanta. When you ride in the van for three days straight, we quickly became “slap happy” and found ourselves jamming out to Disney sing-along songs. Pretty sure Greg now knows the words to every Disney soundtrack ever made, and possibly short one eardrum due to screaming girls.
When we arrived in Atlanta tonight, we enjoyed the downtown nightlife, while staying at Saint Marks United Methodist Church. We ate dinner at a sma1l, but delicious Italian restaurant and went to bed early while watching movies in the large youth room of the church. Although the air conditioning didn’t work as well as we liked, it did keep us cool!
Goodnight for now!
