when we left

Graceland, we went for lunch.  We were planning on this place but they didn't open for another two hours.  (I will try again when we go back to Memphis for Bluesapallooza - our road trip we planned a year or two ago to drive up the Mississippi Blues Trail to Memphis.)  Anyway, the next thing we thought of was a restaurant of Gina and Pat Neely from Food Network.  So that's where we stopped for lunch, Neely's BBQ.  It was pretty good.  Mom only had a drink, Eric just had chicken tenders and fries but I had a wet-glazed pork rib platter while Cosme had either the chopped or pulled pork plate.  It was good.  After Neely's we went back to the hotel but made a stop at Sun Studio for t-shirts (tour to be made on Bluesapallooza...along with a few others).  Mom had lunch and we packed our stuff up, checked out and hit the road for Shreveport.  Somewhere around Texarkana it started snowing.  What?  Yes, that's right.  We just left the east coast, it's the last day of spring break and it starts snowing when we get back to Texas.  It didn't last long, luckily.  We met up with Dad in Shreveport, did some gambling at Horseshoe and got to the hotel at 3:30 for some much needed sleep.  We woke up at 8:00 the next morning to find it snowing in Shreveport.  OMG.  Mom said it was snowing when they got to the hotel around 6:00.  Too much cold weather for me.  We headed south for home.  A few hours later we were back.

I think Strat was either trying to tell us we were not to leave again or if we were leaving again, don't forget to take him.

And that concludes our run down of Spring Break 2010.
