Memphis 2020

Another random trip. One night in an air bnb turned into covering my shift and spending a second night at motel 6. Bass pro shop, silky o Sullivan’s with goats outside and the bowling alley inside bass pro which looks like an aquarium are things I saw on social media and made a spontaneous trip out of it. Felt like mini New Orleans. We are bbq and drank beer while listening to live blues at every bar on the strip. The first night ended up with us flooding the bath in the air bnb and sleeping side by side in recliners.

We made a pit stop on the way to Memphis.

I called first thing in the morning when they opened and made sure their hours were normal.

It had been pouring all night and day and I was hoping that wouldn’t cause them to close.

Instead, it meant we were the only people in the entire park and the animals were so excited to see us.

The emus were terrifying.

We walked up and down the strip.

We went to every bar.

Ate lots of bbq.

Drank lots of beers.

And got aggressively drunk.

We spent an entire day in the bass pro shop. It was like being at Disneyland.

Skylift, restaurants, bowling alley, fish, fun.

And this river park had a “to scale” map of the country. Super cool.

We had so much fun that Brian talked me into staying another night. We only had the air bnb for one night so we found a motel 6.

This concourse became a spot for small shops. What a great idea.
