Tour de Memphis

Tonight, Jill, Heather, Ryan and I celebrated Ryan's birthday in Memphis by enjoying fine dining at Texas de Brazil and then taking a carriage ride through the historic downtown area. I learned a lot of history from the tour down the old streets passing by even older buildings.

Yes, Trolleys do still run in Memphis!

The building above is where K Mart essentially began. It all started with a company called "Kress".








Meet Bo. It's ironic that he came from Lawrence County TN which is where we are from! He was born and raised on an Amish farm not far from where we all live.

Happy Birthday, Ryan! Looks like lots of fun! So, were you all able to pull off the surprise? Looking forward to hearing more about it when you all get back!
