I am very excited about our road trip to Florida. One of the most exciting parts is getting to use some of our accumulated air miles (for hotels) and hotel rewards. I am going to mention when those things take place because I want you all to know how awesome these rewards can be. They really pay off!
So after work on Friday we headed to Oklahoma City. Tosh drove, I took selfie car pics of Finn and I.
We used one of our Carlson Club nights to stay here...
The room was huge!
The next morning we headed out towards Nashville. We saw a lot of this...
It was nice to see a change of scenery from what we are used to. There are so many trees!
Finn was taking pictures and I will definitely share those in a post.
Tosh was excited to cross the Mississippi...
We were too...
We stopped to eat dinner in Memphis. We went down to Bealle Street.
I had to get a picture of "Dyers".
We stopped to watch a Blues singer.
The street was blocked off to cars.
We ate some bbq sandwiches and turnip greens at King Arthur's.
Our waitress, Cozzette, was originally from D.C.. We enjoyed talking to her about D.C. and Michael Jackson (she is a super fan).
Bealle street has so much energy. We were so glad we stopped in. Interestingly enough Memphis is a very economically depressed city, yet the people are happy as can be. The streets were filled with people dancing. There was so much energy and charm to this city. I would love to spend more time there sometime.
But after dinner it was time to continue on to Nashville...
