Walkin' in Memphis: Exploring our city.

My husband and I can't afford a vacation this year.
Maybe next year, but this year it just isn't in the cards for us.
We still want to enjoy our summer though!
We live in a wonderful city full of things that we haven't experienced
or discovered yet.

I had this past Friday off of work, so we decided to go out downtown
and explore a bit.

First we went to the Peabody Hotel.
The Peabody is "THE" hotel in Memphis. We have many
great hotels around here, but this is probably the
most famous. It's gorgeous! Its very glamourous,
and all I've ever seen is the lobby. One day I hope to
make it up to the rooftop, just haven't done it yet.
The Peabody is most famous for it's ducks.
Yes, I said ducks. The ducks are trained to
walk from their rooms every morning, into the
elevator and down into the lobby's fountain at precisely
11 a.m. where they stay until 5 p.m.

We got there early and saw the cute little ducks!
I couldn't get a picture because of the people, but here
is the gorgeous ceilings in the lobby.

 

After we left the Peabody, we were hungry so we stopped at a well known Memphis burger joint Huey's, and split an appetizer.

If you ever visit Memphis, you have to eat at Hueys! 

They have amazing burgers, and they are a big part of Memphis, it just wouldn't be right. 

I had such a good Friday with my husband, and there are many more places to see around here!
