And finally....
Here's the last set of pics from the recent trip. The Blog needs to allow more pic adds per post. Sorry.
Rhodes College
Took Brandy and Will out to Rhodes while we were in Memphis. I remembered this school from back in the Delta State days. We played them during tennis season and I was blown away at how nice it was. You certainly don't expect to see a campus like this in Memphis.
Beale Street
Okay...we had a chance to pass through Beale Street before it got too crazy and actually went to Itta Bena for an early dinner. Itta Bena is on the top floor of the B.B. King's Blues Club. Great food. Here are a few pics from Beale.
Memphis Redbirds Game
We finally made it up to see the Redbirds play a game in Memphis. They are the Triple A affiliate of the Cardinals. The Sporting News rated it the #1 Minor League Park in the country. It was actually pretty nice...in downtown Memphis, a couple of blocks from Beale and across from the Peabody Hotel. This was Will's first baseball game too and he had a blast.
Mississippi Riverboat Cruise
Well...it wasn't the ocean or a waterpark, but we did get to take a cruise on the Mighty Mississippi this weekend. Weather was good, so the time on the water was great.
Arcade Restaurant
We finally got over to Arcade for some grub. Arcade Restaurant is Memphis' oldest cafe. As you can see from the pic...Will enjoyed himself.

Graceland
Back together again, the three of us decided to take a day trip to Memphis and see some unseen sights before the new school year started. We started off the day at Graceland.
University of Pennsylvania Pics
Okay...so I couldn't give all those U. of Maryland pics and only one UPenn pic, so here are a few more. It felt much bigger than Harvard and Brown, and just as "Ivy".
