Day 1: A Lot of Driving...and some good food too!

We began our day at a little before 8 am, and loaded into our rental van...a tight fit, but we made it work!  

We decided to stop for lunch in Hannibal, Missouri.  Ian chose our first lunch stop, and chose a yummy Italian place called The Brick Oven.  While Pastor Amy waited to pay the bill after lunch, the boys and Adam stretched their legs by going down and looking at the river, the Mark Twain Memorial Lighthouse, and a few other oddities along the way. 

Then it was back on the road to finish our drive to Memphis!  We learned quickly that some Memphis drivers like to weave through traffic, but we safely made it to dinner, (another Ian pick) at Central BBQ, where most had pulled pork in someway shape or form.  

Then it was off to our hotel to relax for the rest of the evening, because tomorrow is a big day!

That's all that is happening on Day 1!  Tomorrow we get up and head to worship, the National Civil Rights Museum and more!  

Good night from Memphis!
