Wow! What a weekend!

Well, it's Monday again! And our trip is over. But the memories will last forever! I had such a great time. Just getting away for the weekend makes a huge difference! Here's some pics of our vacation. A place called The Pink Palace. It's like three museums in one! It was very informative, but VERY fun!

Skeleton of a Rattlesnake

This is how a General Store looked back in the old days

The front of the first Piggly Wiggly

The first Piggly Wiggly forced you to go up and down eack aisle!

A view of what a kitchen looked like in the mid 50's to early 60's

The 60's... check out how they did perms! lol And the "weight loss" Method. Matt said it looked like they would come away with internal injuries! ;op

The Pink Palace is in a mansion... this is the foyer

Saturday evening/night, we walked Beale Street. It was so much fun! There was so many different cultures there! It was unbelievable! It was like a small version of New Orleans. It was great! Music on every corner, and it was so alive! WOW!

This was a building front that was still standing and being held up by steele beams. Behind it was a club/bar (which was $10.00 to get in just to sit and listen to the music... when you can hear it outside for free.. hmm... no brainer! lol)

This is a sidewalk look at the building front

Inside the building front (which you can see from the sidewalk), this was an interesting piece of .... art? lol Goats live here! Very odd place for goats, but hey! They gotta live somewhere!

Me and my honey! We had a blast listening to the free entertainment and watching the DRUNK people dance the night away!

Beale Street is so beautiful at night!

Finally, we were headed home! ;0p

I don't know why this caught me so funny, but as we were driving to Memphis Friday evening/night, we drove past this trailor (in the dark) at an exit that had nothing on it. It was sitting right the road and it was lit up like daylight! I don't think you can tell what it says from this pic, but it has signs all over it saying "$5.00 pshycic reading"! I laughed so hard for about 2 miles! lol So, coming home, I HAD to take a pic of it! It's lost some of it's funniness now, but man, was it funny to me at the time! One of those Had to be there kind of things! lol

I guess it was the combination of 1.) it being out in the middle of nowhere, 2.) it being opened late at night, and 3.) it just really topped the redneck list! YEP! That's what made it so funny!

Hope you enjoyed the little walk through of our trip! It really was a blast!
