Moving on

Okay, so we last left you in Memphis while deciding what to do with our rainy day. The afternoon cleared up so we headed downtown for a walk around and barbeque at the Rendezvous. The walk around turned into people watching from a bar called the Flying Saucer. They boast loads of beer on tap and more in bottles. From there we watched two 12 or 13 year olds gettting busted outside the mall across the street. Two undercover cops had them and mall security was there and finally a uniformed cop. Apparently it was a big enough deal for the uniformed cop to drive the wrong way down the one-way street. Also it was not a big enough deal for the kids to actually get arrested. Okay then.

After that we had dinner, Brandon had a full rack of Memphis ribs. He was happy. We then walked around Beale Street which Brandon described as "Bourbon Street with a conscious." After that it was back to the house and the dogs and we rolled out of town Thursday morning on our way to Kansas City.

Memphis to KC was another 9-hour travel day. That seems to be our regular interval. We got to Scott, Connie, and Grace's house right as dinner was being served - thank you. Friday we hung out with Aunt Marge and worked in some Kansas City barbeque - another full rack for Brandon. He won't say which he's partial to, probably a good move. Friday night we were back at the cousins' place and joined by cousin Don. We kinda grazed through leftovers for dinner and Brandon had none as he was still working on that rack.

Saturday we were back on the road and made it to Cheyenne. We headed north out of Kansas City and were in Iowa for a couple of minutes, then a full day of Nebraska. I-80 through that state is about as straight as it can get, but the speed limit is 75 and for that we were grateful.

I'll pick it up again soon, but there's more road to cover. P.S. You may find some photos over at the Flikr photo icon on the side.
