Walking in Memphis

We have driven through Memphis countless times in the last four years that we've lived in AL. We know where all the clean bathrooms are, but we had never stopped to enjoy Memphis. To us it was just a really convenient place to meet my parents or take a potty break or get some lunch at Chickfila. On our way home from Ark last week we decided to stay the night in Memphis and enjoy the zoo.


The zoo was cool and all, but my favorite part was breakfast in bed. :) The girls thought it was pretty awesome. They even got to sleep on a couch that turned into a bed. ;)
The Memphis Zoo was awesome. We went on July 4th and it was a bit warm, but I don't remember my kids whining about it at all. That tells you how much fun they had. We started with the pandas.

The polar bear exhibit was by far the coolest. You could watch the polar bears from outside or go inside (to the air conditioning) and watch from the aquarium. It was so fun to watch the polar bear interact and swim around. The picture below was about 4 seconds before Caroline lost her mind. For some reason a huge white beast just inches from her face scared her to death!!

They even have a great shaded playground right outside the food court area.

All three girls had a great time. Definitely something we will do again.
