Road Trippin

Wow! What was supposed to be a scenic 8 hour drive from Greenville, SC to Memphis, TN turned into an 11 hour road trip filled with winding roads, construction, and small towns (and their 25 mph speed limits). We did get to see some new and beautiful parts of the country, but just didn't expect to see them for that long!! Overall, we traveled through 10 states in 1 week, and were able to add some newly visited states to our list (Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia). While in Memphis, we got to visit Graceland - the home of Elvis Presley. It happened to be "Elvis Week" and the 31st Anniversary of his death. We both felt somewhat out of place since we were not covered from head to toe in Elvis apparel, we were not part of any Elvis fan club, and David forgot to grow out his Elvis style sideburns. We ended up in Columbia, MO and met Cori's parents and her sister. We helped move Cara into her new dorm and also spent time visiting some of the region's wineries.
