Saying Goodbye to Memphis.

On the movie again...

We packed everything up and headed out. Out next stop... Cincinnati, OH. Before we made the move, out family traveled back home for a very short visit. There is no place like home. I thought that we would relax and enjoy ourselves before moving to OH. That was not the case. Corey and I cleaned, ran errands and worked in the yard. Some of my flower beds of weeds actually have flowers in them now.

  

Before we moved from Mississippi we tried to revisit all of our of our favorite spots. 

The Children's Museum

 The Memphis Zoo

  

Throwing rocks in the pond.

 

Mini golf

 the amazing parks

 Sprinkler Park in Collierville, TN

Before we left the South. Corey and I wanted to see New Orleans.  The highlight of the trip was the swamp tour and feeding the gators marshmallows. The tour guide told us about the after math of Katrina. Since the hurricane, the waterfront property has quadrupled in asking prince while land property has sunk to a low. We learned about changes to the river and the surroundings. We saw shopping centers, stores, car lots, and neighbors vacant and destroyed.  

French Quarters is beautiful in the day time. I would not suggest staying out after 6:00. We even tried some of the famous Cajun food from New Orleans. The shrimp was amazing. Even my green beans were spicy. The blackened alligator I could do without. I felt like I was chewing for days and the taste got worst with every bite. :(  It was an interest trip and a one time thing.
