Mom and Dad Come to Arkansas!

My parents came to visit the week after Christmas and we had so much fun! We explored Memphis, went to Graceland, went shopping, and ate delicious BBQ. When we’ve asked people what to do in Memphis they always say Memphis is known for Graceland, BBQ and MLK’s death place.  So we hit up all those things. My parents and I aren’t fans of Elvis whatsoever but we still wanted to experience Graceland. I am so glad we went. It was so interesting to see everything and it was actually fun. You wear a headset around and there’s a lot of cool info you learn and a lot of it is Elvis talking about stuff, and you don’t just see his house you get to see his estate. There are like 5 little homes behind his house; One was his office, one his racquetball court, and there are others I just don’t remember what they are… There’s also a museum with all of his awards in it. It is soo crazy. I also realized that he was a good guy and actually pretty handsome before he grew those sideburns out and started doing drugs.

On New Years Eve we went and got some BBQ at Central BBQ. Everyone has their favorite BBQ joint here and we’ve tried all the popular ones, and Central is our favorite. It’s AMAZING. IMG_1393
