How exciting the booth thing is! I have managed to fit into a handful but some places are still impossible for me. I'm gonna get there, though. You are SUCH an inspiration!MissyEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04908854239406213971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-12247250251479957772011-07-28T12:05:45.005-04:002011-07-28T12:05:45.005-04:00Thanks for the suggestions so far!

You might look at the zoo or Memphis Botanical Gardens and see what special events they have during the time frame you'll be there. Both are beautiful places. Pink Palace Museum might also be something you'd like. It's geared toward children, but still neat. There's an IMAX theater inside too! Shelby Farms has an awesome drive through Christmas lights display (again depending on when you'll be there).<br /><br />Consider Felicia Suzanne's for some upscale dining. She used to be Emeril Lagasse's girlfriend and has an awesome restaraunt downtown. Also, Blues City Cafe on Beale has food a million times better than BB Kings. <br /><br />If you are into gambling, casinos are only about 30 minutes from Memphis in Tunica. Lots of concerts always going on there and Paula Deen has a buffet there.<br /><br />You might also see what types of shows/concerts will be at the Orpheum during your stay. They've had lots of awesome Broadway productions this past year.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396701392300505745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-44771848869019400832011-07-28T09:16:05.597-04:002011-07-28T09:16:05.597-04:00That stinks that Mud Island will be closed - that ...That stinks that Mud Island will be closed - that was my very favorite thing in Memphis.<br /><br />I don't know if you guys are museum people, but the National Civil Rights museum at the Lorraine hotel was interesting.

(http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11097)<br /><br />In a word, it's nuts. But fun nuts. I went with my hubby and sister in-law and we still crack each other up with quotes from the curator (or favorite being "Stand back, I don't want to get you pregnant!").JLVerdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814082484881071454noreply@blogger.com
