We drove the Crowley Ridge scenic byway in Arkansas- it was beautiful, we took a small hike through the park to a suspension bridge. Then we moved on to Memphis, TN. We did Mud Island (Mostly I know if from Tom Cruise's movie- The Firm), but it was very nice. It had some great exhibits from the south/Mississippi River, including a scale model "fountain" that you walked up and down and waded in if you wanted to of the entire Mississippi River. We went to Rendevous for some BBQ. The next am we headed to where else, but Graceland! Wow, talk about your floor to ceiling, wait and ceiling, carpet. Definitely not my taste in decorating, but fun to see the house, the cars and the airplanes as well as many of the outfits and awards that Elvis received. (One of my mom's dreams come true!) Then we had to part ways with my parents- they went back to Oklahoma and we went down south where we drove over the Lake Ponchatrain Bridge (over 20 miles long) and into New Orleans. We walked along the riverwalk, ate great french food, walked through the French quarter (stayed clear of Bourbon st...we had the kids w/ us), walked through a cemetary, ate Beignets at Cafe Du Monde, walked through Jackson Square and ate Pralines. I took the kids swimming for a little bit, while Gary actually had to work!
