Today we drove most of the day, so Anders and I slept while Annika played on her tablet and Dak drove. I did go through the pictures from our last day in Nashville, which was packed. We started the day checking out Nashville guitar stores. Annika loved playing on the ukuleles, so she might start … Continue reading July 1: Vacay Day 8 – Nashville to Chicago

Today was long and exhausting. I have a lot of things to share and great pictures, but I haven't had time to look through them all and weed out the bad ones yet. So, I found one picture to share today of my favorite kids on this huge mosaic dragon in a nice park: It … Continue reading June 30: Vacay Day 7 – Last Day in Nashville

I got really tired finally today, so Dak took the kids and went to the Johnny Cash museum while I slept this morning. I needed that more than anything. They came back to get me for lunch and I was recharged and ready. We went to eat at a southern barbecue joint - Anders was … Continue reading June 29: Vacay Day Six – Nashville

We started the morning in Memphis. Anders and Dak wanted to tour Sun Studio, but Annika wanted to see the duck march at the Peabody Hotel. So, we dropped the boys off to check out the studio and headed down to see the ducks. Annika got to sit right next to the red carpet: The … Continue reading June 28: Vacay Day 5 – Memphis to Nashville

I love Memphis still, but it's so hot here. Thank goodness there are so many air conditioned places to rest. We started by driving by Graceland, which is actually just a couple miles from our hotel. We didn't take the tour because we had other important sights to see today. Instead, we went to our … Continue reading June 27: Vacay Day Four – Walking in Memphis

We drove to Memphis from St. Louis today, and it is over 100 degrees here. We ate at a local farm-to-table restaurant and drove around for a while. We went to the Memphis Pyramid, which is pretty much a Bass Pro Shop with a hotel and a big elevator in the middle to go up … Continue reading June 26: Vacay Day Three – StL to Memphis

We spent a big part of the day at The City Museum, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I love The City Museum. I think Anders put it pretty well as we were climbing through some of the bars - I told him it was like safe urban exploring, and he … Continue reading June 25: Vacay Day 2 – St. Louis

Today started off pretty lazy in the hotel: We were going to head to the National Blues Museum, but when we left at about 10 to go down there, we found out it didn't open until noon. So instead we went to the zoo to walk around a little bit. We saw some butterflies - … Continue reading June 24: Vacay Day One – St. Louis
