Chuck and I took a whirlwind trip with Amy&Doug Dombeck down to Memphis. Grandma & Grandpa Sigmeth graciously accepted the responsibility of Mitchell & Maria Thursday evening around 4:30 pm through Sunday about 8:30 pm. Amy borrowed her dad, LeRoy's 1994 conversion van - what a great set up. The Dombecks and the Hoffmans share the month of August for wedding anniversaries and decided to take a road trip. You know the honeymoon is over when you take a couple with you on an Anniversary trip!!!
With Amy & Doug as our tour guides we saw Graceland, had the best BBQ at Interstate BBQ, took a stroll on Beale Street, & survived a flat tire (with assistance from our good samaritan, Henry). Saturday morning we took off for St. Louis and stopped at the Arch - the gateway to the West! We had a great time at Union Station for dinner as well as a late night stroll around the city of St. Louis. Chuck loved the city and it's architecture and I enjoyed the nice soft beds and sleeping through the night without kids waking me up to accompany them to the bathroom! On the way out of town we stopped in Jherico for a bathroom break - we are happy to not have disappeared from the face of the earth! We had brunch at Lambert's-home of the throwed rolls!
As you can see there are no photos. South of the Minnesota border I happened to delete them all. Very disappointing! I'm thinking of taking another trip there someday with the family...as long as we bring walkie talkies and follow the Dombecks so Amy can say, "As you look to your left you will see..."
