By Amanda - 8/10/08


Well, we’re finally home. That ride from Memphis back here took forever! Some of the highlights for me were:

1) Texas Stadium – The tour was great, to start with. However, I never, in a million years, thought I would play football on the field. And (drum roll, please), I only missed a field goal by 3 feet or so. PS – Uncle Scott, I’ll race you any time you want. I’ll beat you every time, I guarantee it.

2) Memphis – I was never really an Elvis fan, but being in the same city where he and so many legends got their start was really cool. I also enjoyed eating at Neely’s Barbecue, because they’re really good friends with my favorite cook, Paula Deen. They’ve got some good BBQ!

3) New Orleans – The affect that the hurricanes had on the city was incredible, as is the still-evident damage. Hearing our tour guide’s story was really interesting because he was an evacuee. Also, I tried crawfish…and really, really, liked them.

So, that’s my wrap-up of our trip. We had so much fun traveling, and just as much fun reading your comments! Hope you enjoyed the posts, and check out the blog when we go on our next trip. See ya!

Oh I'm sure you can beat your Uncle Scott. Especially now that he acts like HE'S eating for 2.

Glad you made it back safely!

Love,
