We apologize for the delay on the posting. Between one city to the next, this trip has been more exhausting than we anticipated.
Good morning Graceland! You can’t leave Memphis without paying a visit to the home of the King of Rock n’ Roll... Elvis Presley’s Graceland! Took a moment to watch a little TV and eat a grilled peanut butter and banana sandwich at Graceland. Jen made sure to make her mark on the surrounding walls of Graceland.
“Quick Jen, let’s get outta here! I’ve got the gold phone!!”
We hit the road like bandits and lost the troopers in Arkansas…
Hmm…speaking of Arkansas, I’m hungry for some KFC and Taco Bell. Wonder if they have a KFC-Taco Bell Buffet around here? As a matter of fact they sure do…
Arkansas…what’s to see in Arkansas? Anyone know? Did we miss some major landmark or attraction that we should have stopped for? It was a beautiful scenic drive through Arkansas to Missouri.
Just passed the Arkansas-Missouri border we saw this sign:
I guess Missouri workers are more expendable than in Illinois where it was $10,000 + 14 years of jail time.
New York is known for its cheesecake, Chicago for its deep dish pizza, Memphis for its BBQ, and Springfield Missouri… “cashew chicken!” (Just ask the locals! They’ll tell you the same.) Jen and I passed on the infamous cashew chicken. We had a great time with a few of my Missouri friends!
Thanks Erica and Darcy for the comfy accommodations and hospitality!
Interesting Things Seen and to Contemplate:
- Arkansas trees are scary, they look like forest monsters just like Missouri trees!!
- They grow rice in Arkansas.
- Do you pronounce "warm" just like "farm"?
- Kum n’ Go

Next Stop:
On the road again...Here we go, Springfield to Denver!
Erica said we should stop and see the worlds largest prairie dog in Kansas.
Huh, I could swear, actually 'swear' that I was there that Saturday night? But there's no picture to prove it - drats. Oh, and if you guys were men instead I don't think Darcy would be as hospitable.
ReplyDeleteGood to see you (and to finally say bye [or hi?]?) Magda and nice to meet you Jen.

Kevin, we saw you there, but for some reason your image did not appear in the photos we took. It must be that vampire thing you have going on!
