Moving Part II: Memphis and Little Rock

From Loveland we drove all the way to Memphis and then took a day off to explore.Memphis was very tourist friendly. The downtown area has a trolley line that you can ride all day for just $3.50 and it took us everywhere we wanted to go. Here Bryan and Norah are waiting for the trolley.We had a big breakfast at the Arcade restaurant which is famous for being a favorite hang out of Elvis – see the charming trolley in the backgroundThen we went to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks walk the red carpet to the hotel fountain. It was pretty silly but Norah got a kick out of it and the hotel itself was magnificent. Then we went to the National Civil Rights museum. I wish we could have spent more time at the museum because it was dense with exhibits and information but Norah was falling apart. Some of the museum highlights were the sit-in lunch counter, and the Rosa Parks bus. When Norah sat in the bus a recording was triggered of an angry voice telling her to sit in the back of the bus. It really startled her and even scared her a little and she went right to the back of the bus (unlike Rosa). After the museum we rode the trolley past the Mississippi river and the girls fell asleep so we drove past Beale streetand headed to Little Rock. The only thing we had time to do in Little Rock was eat BBQ. We went to the award winning “Whole Hog Café”
