Spring Break Road Trip!!

Matt and I took advantage of our week off by driving across the country to visit Liz in Lincoln, NE and then to Memphis, TN to visit Sharon! :) We drove 2,600 miles and spent something like 30 hours in the car. It was a wonderful trip!!

Trip stats:
- 2,600 miles
- 30 hours in the car
- 11 states (NC, VA, WV, KY, IN, IL, MO, IO, NE, AR, TN)
- 2 great friends

The pictures are posted on Facebook, but I'll put up a couple here too!




In Nebraska, we walked around downtown, went to the UNL bookstore, ate at an AMAZING Greek restaurant, the Parthenon, and saw a really cute play, That's What Makes Them Pirates!. We also ate burgers at Culver's before we drove to Omaha and went to the most amazing zoo and went to dinner at Rock Bottom Brewery. It was, all in all, a wonderful visit with my Lizie! :)

In Memphis, we explored Beale Street, ate yummy catfish po' boys (farm raised, sadly), and spent hours exploring the Rock and Soul Museum. Then we rented 2012 and hung out with Sharon and her roomie, Rachana. The next day, we drove to Tunica, Mississippi, where we ate lunch at Paula Deen's buffet and blew $10 on penny slots at Harrah's. :) Then we drove to the river front and explored a little before we drove back into Memphis and relaxed at Mud Island. Sharon and Rachana took us out to B.B. King's restaurant on Beale Street for dinner (delicious ribs and excellent mac 'n cheese).

Hm...I think there is a theme here...food! Everything we ate in Lincoln and Memphis was excellent!! :) The fast food in between, not so much. Ah well.
