A visit from Uncle Brad

David's younger brother, Brad, was in town for the last few weeks. Brad goes to Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, TX which is about 8 hours away. Usually when Brad comes, he works on housing construction every day with his brothers, so Saturday we decided to do some Memphis touristy stuff with him.

Just outside of Graceland (which is only 10 minutes from our house!) It's customary to do a little vandalism on the wall by writing a tribute to the King. Nothing like graffiti to show how much you care right?


We went downtown to Beale Street to check out all the shops. Downtown Memphis is cool in that so much you want to see is so close: shops, dining, The Orpheum, FedEx Forum, museums, etc. Should've taken more pictures I guess!



We're doing our best "Elvis" faces. Not impressive, I know.

After Beale Street we took a look at the Mississippi River (sorry, no pics) It was a fun day .
Caroline loves her Uncle Brad. They must have some funny connection, because she really does hide from most men she doesn't see regularly. (and even some she does!) It was nice to have him here, he's pretty helpful too - he's an expert at downloading music and pretty good at Guitar Hero! And who doesn't love a free live-in babysitter?!

Man, I've always wanted to go to Graceland! Maybe we'll come visit you guys one of these days and you can take us to see the King!

JEALOUS! I wish we lived somewhere, where there was cool stuff to do. Maybe someday, for now, we enjoy the sun here in the booming metropolis. We miss you guys.
