We made it to TENNESSEE!
We didn't have any specific destinations for this day except to walk Beale Street in Memphis and go downtown in Nashville. And we didn't want to feel rushed. The girls especially were excited for this day!
We arrived in Memphis around lunchtime so the streets were still really quiet. Josh decided the kids needed a taste of the world famous Central BBQ. During our year of traveling to help out a church in Memphis, we frequented different BBQ joints and this was one of Josh's favorites. He got some great photos he posted on his Instagram of this day. After eating, we headed to Beale Street to walk the strip.
After Memphis I took over driving and steered us in the direction of Nashville. Let it be known that I navigated the streets of downtown Nashville in our 15 passenger van. I don't even attempt this feat in my own downtown. My girlfriends were very proud, thank you very much.
The crowds were beginning to pick up as we weaved our way in and out of strangers. There were so many sounds! Cars, horns, people, and a different band in every single restaurant or bar. I wonder how you get a decent sound check with all the doors and windows are open and you are competing with every other local band on tap for the night. It was wild!
It was getting late and we still had an hour and a half drive to our next Airbnb.
That's when we noticed we had a headlight out...and we needed to make one final stop at the Kroger (because gas points!) for the last day's lunches so we made a couple of stops before arriving at our legit log cabin for the night.
