Two weeks ago my hubby and I went on a road trip to Memphis, Tennessee. I know, you are probably wondering why I have Arkansas on the title. Well, I will explain in a bit! Hubby and I left Friday at noon on this very unexpected road trip but it was amazing and we had so much needed time together. (Hubby works 6 nights a week and only see each other during lunch time and one night a week, SUCKS!!)
We departed from Ohio. The weather and the scenery were perfect. While we are driving we start talking and laughing (AMAZING TIME). Once we reached Kentucky we made our first stop at a gas station to eat something and to use the restroom and to get a magnet for our collection. We like to collect magnets of the places we have visited together so Kentucky was not an exception (we went there this past February but forgot to get one then).
(It wouldn't be a road trip without the usual bathroom selfie, LOL!!!!!)
Once we approached Tennessee we decided to make a stop in Nashville, TN. We were so tired of driving at this point we were desperate to take a break and stretch the legs. Nashville is a dream! The ambiance and vitality of a city that is so known for its music, LOVE IT!!
We walked around until we reached the end of the street. It was super hot in Nashville so hubby and I decided to go inside on of the bars and cool off a little bit. We had such a great time, hearing good music and enjoying a much needed beer (I had to drive the rest of the way so I only had one, don't panic). The live band was fantastic. Something I didn't expected in a country bar was hearing Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. The singer really sounded like Bon Jovi.
We had such a great time at Tequila Cowboy!! Then we went ahead and walked a little bit more in another busy street the night was lovely but hot. So we went in another bar to get cool because honestly, it was super hot and we were sweaty and sticky, LOL!!!
After this we got back on the road towards our final destination, Memphis, TN. We got to the hotel around midnight and we were exhausted, smelly and sticky (to much information, I know). Shower and bed was to follow.
I chose this particular hotel because it said that included breakfast. Perfect less money we have to spend on food the better. I send my husband down to the car to get my makeup bag and when he came to the room with the breakfast I wanted to cry. I should've taken a picture but I was so upset that I just when on to my business. Well, the famous breakfast was a muffing, one Nature Valley bar and coffee. (WHAT!!!) So we had t a little bit of a wait and decided to go to a near McDonald's (no judgment, please) and we realized we were super close to Elvis Presley's Graceland so we venture there. The morning was beautiful so we parked near by and walked along the sidewalk. Unfortunately, we couldn't go inside the house to get the tour because the wait was too long and we had to check out soon. But no worries because this is perfect to do next time we come to visit, because we are coming back to both, Nashville and Memphis.
I got some souvenirs at a store closed by and we head back to the hotel to pick up the reason why we had to take this road trip. My handsome and awesome nephew!!! I was so happy to see him, it had been 6 months since we last see each other and the best part is that he is spending a couple weeks with us. Happy Aunt!!
We were heading home now but we wanted to at least see the Mississippi River so we took a drive along River Road in Memphis. We were going around and my hubby says that if we crossed the bridge we would be in Arkansas. We just looked at each other, shared a smile, and off we go. Yes people, we crossed the Mississippi River into Arkansas; stopped at a gas station to put gas in the car and to by one magnet. LOL!!!
