We finally after three years got to go away for a vacation. We started our trip in Weatherford where we stayed with our friends from church, the Jones's. We had fun catching up and our kids enjoyed playing with each other. Then I sang with the Praise Team from church at Peach Festival. After that and buying some peaches, we headed to my parents house in Tennessee.
We went to church where my parents go to church and was able to meet and thank in person some of the people that prayed for me during my illness. We had some Corky's BBQ which is our favorite in Memphis. My mom even got us stocked up on their BBQ sauce so we can have a little Memphis BBQ throughout the year.
We relaxed and Andrew and Anna played. Andrew created a space shuttle out of magnetics. He loves to create and build things. He is great at it.
Then my Mom took us to Incredible Pizza. It was so much fun for the kids and I even had a gluten free pizza! Anna wanted a stuffed animal out of one of those machines that are impossible to get anything out of. I tried three times and Anna said, "Let me try!" Guess what? With one try, she gets her yellow elephant. How does that happen? We played bowling and mini golf and the kids played a lot of other games.
My Dad brought home the kids some rockets to blast outside. They had fun with that!
We ate at some great places and our last lunch with my parents was at Rendezvous in downtown Memphis. After lunch, we walked over to Beale St. and went to the five and dime and our favorite music store and bought a CD. We also headed over to the Peabody Hotel to see the ducks and to show the kids Francis Scott Key's Piano. We then headed to West Monroe, LA
We enjoyed our time in Weatherford and our time with my parents in Memphis. Hopefully, we can get back to Memphis every summer like we use to
