Memphis Trip

A few weekends ago Mark and I bought a new car :D Very exciting!! Especially since I really really needed it. My car was truly on its last leg. It seemed like every week there was something wrong with it. So we decided to participate in the whole "cash for clunkers" deal and we got us a brand spanking new car :D
Pretty sweet eh? Its a dodge Journey 09'! And I absolutely love it! Well since we got a new car we decided to take a trip in it! We went to Memphis to see Tony and Sarah. Tony just got out of the hospital from removing his gal bladder. Funny story is that Sarah was in a month before Tony and had practically the same procedure. Needless to say, they have the same scar marks. It was quite comical. :D

Well when we got there, being out of school for a week for Tony we let him have a few hours to study, we went to the Memphis Zoo. It was alot of fun! Sarah, Mark and me had a blast. The Memphis Zoo is enormous! They had animals there that you wouldn't see at a smaller zoo. Here are some pictures of the amazing animals :D Especially the Panda's!!




And we loved the Bee Hive exhibit!!


Also the wonderful polar bears!!


Over all it was a great zoo.. we saw a sea lion show which made Mark and I want to get a sea lion instead of a dog... haha.. I told him we would have to get a BIG pool!

When we got back from the zoo we decided to take a night out on the strip!! We went to a really small BBQ place called Rendezvou which was pretty good and then we went walking down the strip!

This guy was the entertainment for the night. He was singing a bunch of great songs and one of them was "I just called to say I love you" And right when he hit the punch line of "I love you" he pointed to me and Mark and said "She Loves you!" lol it was pretty entertaining!



They had these random goats at one of the clubs called Lucky O'Sullivans. They literally lived there and walked around their "Castle".



And yes, we all drank out of this bucket of drunkiness.. it was the grossest thing I've ever drank! I was more into my Strawberry Daquiri.
