Memphis Memories Day 1

We have ventured out to Memphis for a few days. Hubby has a conference to go to so little man and I tagged along to utilize his hotel room. We only got here a few hours ago but I already have noticed so many things!

Our Hotel- First I should say it is nice. The bed in comfy, the soap doesn't dry me out and the TV is HD. But then... well, the ceiling is gross as are the carpets, the toilet runs all the time and the pool is closed. They are currently renovating so the furniture doesn't go together at all. I am not talking about matching, but about general style. I have to admit I am just happy to feel kind of safe here because....

Memphis- is just as weird and scary as I remember it. One minute you are in an area with a seminary and mansions and the next you can't see any grass through the trash. The roads are completely crazy! The interstate has an exit to stay on the interstate.... umm what? Wouldn't the exit be for the other roads? At one point they had blue and purple neon lights under the overpass and you couldn't tell where there was a road at all. Scary!

Kooki Canuck- The sandwhich I split with little man was pretty good. The fries were a big blob of tastelessness. And the service stunk. It took forever to get a table with two groups of 20 getting seated before my group of two. While I understand the one group had a reservation they only had a reservation for 15 and they had to find an extra table to make it 20. Guess whose table that was? It then took 45 minutes for a single sandwhich to come out. It took 10 minutes for little man to get his drink while mine came after about 5 minutes. I felt bad for him. :( My total was $9.06 so I put out $20.06 and when the waiter came around he looked at me expectantly and asked if I wanted any change. Umm yeah- of course I want change! I am not going to tip you 110%! I do have to say that the animal heads on the wall made for some really funny conversations with little man! It was the best part of the meal!

Tomorrow we are planning to hit the zoo. We are going to use our home zoo memebership to get in at a reduced rate. Little man is really looking forward to the pandas and I can't wait to see his face when he sees the komodo dragons. I am praying for a really great day. I am expecting a really great day! I'll let you know how it goes!
