Enjoying the South

Chase's parents came out to see us last month. We had so much fun touring the south and showing them what we've been up to out here! Below are random pictures of all the places we hit up...we saw it all...now I can leave :)

Fort Nashborough...in NashvilleThe Parthenon...a Greek temple..."Athens of the South"....in Nashville (I was explaining to Chase the way it was built and the 'art' involved....all learned from my art 101 class last fall :) !)

Country Music Hall of Fame....Nashville

The General Lee...from Dukes of Hazzard...at Cooter's Place in Nashville (I got a sweet ball cap signed by Cooter here!)

Outside the Grand Ol Opry House....in Nashville

Inside the Opryland Hotel....the pictures say it all....it was beautiful!

The place was HUGE...and just crazy beautiful...with tons and tons of flowers and trees and waterfalls...even a little river throughout it with little mini boats for rides!

Beale Street all lit up at night (we were there a little early...and missed the weekend crowd!)

Coyote Ugly....we didn't go in, just saw the sign :)

We finally got a picture of both of us on Beale St.

Graceland....it was quite a place! Probably my favorite part....the Lisa Marie, Elvis's plane...it was pretty sweet to walk through. My favorite car of Elvis's (he had a ton!) Elvis's Mansion...not much compared to celebrities now a-days, but I'm sure in it's day it was sweet It was cool to see what was in style back then...all the shag carpets and old school tvs!

The casinos in Tunica...they sit out on the Mississippi River...we hit up the Paula Dean buffet, which is awesome!!

On the bridge going into the casino.

And here is a video of the famous ducks at the Peabody Hotel....we loved it!

SNOW DAY!!

This post is a few weeks old...but we had a SNOW DAY in Mississippi!! It was quite exciting...schools were closed, drivers were scared, and we didn't have to be to work until 10:00 (two hours later than normal)!! Here's the pictures to document this CraZy day....

Shocked, aren't you?!

So was I. I laughed so hard at everyone. This is NOT a snow day... this is simply a teaser that snow exsists. People around here were not kidding when they said that everything shuts down when it snows. HaHa. I guess it did stick for one full day, but I want an Idaho snowstorm. One like Declo had in October....or the one we got right before Christmas!!

Oh well, glad I got those few good ones while I was home!! ********************************************************************* These next two are to show my mom what I have tried to explain over the phone. This is from all the melting snow....but it happens when it rains too. All the water runs to this parking space that Chase likes to park in. It gets so deep that it runs up and over the sidewalk. It's crazy! It also makes getting into and out of the car interesting.....

Here family....not to overdo the snow, but this little video will show ya what a drive through our apt. complex is like. Purdy cute....especially with SNOW! :)

For Mi Familia
