This was the coolest thing I've done. Greg and C.J. are the best buddies a girl can have. I got to take part in something that will change my life forever and I will never forget the things we saw, place we went and adventures we had. Even better; I only gained 5 lbs back. I think that's pretty good considering I ate and drank myself silly.

Heading Home

Bourbon St. Was just as fun as last time. Ate a lot, drank a lot, got hit on by 70 year old guys. Lol. C.J. tried to buy a squirrel. Our fave bartender Victoria wasn't working. :( the same band was playing: I only remember this because I thought the singer/guitar player was super hot. Lol. On the way home now. Back to reality. :(

Memphis

Walking in Memphis with my Blue Suede Shoes! We drove in and headed to the Loraine Hotel, which as you may know is now the Civil Rights Museum. Of course it was closed on Tuesdays but we took pictures anyway. We then made our way to Graceland. Again we just took pics from the outside because tickets were 28$ seriously there are so many people making money off of a dead mans house. Everything was named/themed after him. We checked into our hotel stopped by Pei Wei so I could eat then we headed to Beale St. It was like a mini-Bourbon St. Lots of good music everywhere, lots of homeless people too. We went to rendezvous for bbq because it was on man vs food. The guys said it was awesome. Then we wandered in and out of shops with out "big ass beers". 5$ for a giant woodchuck. Never heard of back home. Maybe I can find that tonight on Bourbon. This is the last day of the trip. Tomorrow we head back home to reality. :( I have to get a job for the rest of the summer, but I may have some out of town company and I may head to colorado for a bit and then september; cruise 09!
