Memphis and Oklahoma City




*LeAnne and I*







So the roadtrip continues. Sunday we went to Downtown Nashville which must only be fun at night because we were not impressed at all with it so we got in the car and headed to Memphis. The drive wasn't too bad since it was one of our shorter drives (4 hours). We got there checked in our hotel and headed out to go to Rendezvous a restraunt known for there ribs (we were super excited to eat real food and not fast food). It wasn't too far from our hotel so we decided to walk there. Once we found the place we also found out they aren't open on Sundays and Mondays so we had to move to plan B (walk down the street and pick a random place). We ended up eating at a place who said they had the best burgers for the past 25 years and a live band that night so we decided to eat there. We ended up staying there for 4 hours just hanging out which was the most fun we had on the trip so far. Oh sidenote at this place you can spit toothpicks into the ceiling and see if you can get them to stick. I had my heart set on going out on the town, dancing and having a good time so we left Huey's, went back to the hotel, got ready and headed out to the main street that has all the bars and night life. Nedless to say I was VERY UPSET. Every bar was empty, had no dancing and it was like a dead city. We walked by the Coyote Ugly bar and there wasn't a sole in there except the door guy. I was in such a bad mood (leanne was a good sport trying to cheer me up). We decided to go back to Huey's and hang out there for the night. The night ended up being really fun. We made friends at the bar and the bartender is a Family Guy fan so I got to sit, drink and watch family guy at the bar. I also got four toothpicks to stick in the ceiling (it's harder than it sounds). We were there until 3am until they closed.





Monday morning we got up and went to Graceland!! I love going to places like that but I hate not having a guide to ask questions. It was pretty cool to see his house and his private planes and cars. After graceland we drove to Oklahoma City to Stay for the night. This is where the drama begins but I will put that in another post since this one is getting lengthy.
