..hartmans..: Memphis Girls Trip 2010

This past weekend was absolutely amazing! Two of my best friends came to visit me in Memphis, and we had an awesome time. I took off Friday and they came in time for lunch that day. In two days, we managed to cram in Graceland, Peabody Ducks, Central, Purse Flea Market, a Binghampton tour of the new house, Young Avenue Deli, Memphis Zoo, Pottery Barn and WIlliams Sonoma Outlet, AND..Happy Mexican. Oh! And they came to church with us Sunday morning and although we had plans to do the last Memphis-loving meal of Jerry's Sno Cones, it was closed.

We also had an early (mini) birthday celebration for Julianna since I won't be in Nashville on her real birthday.

The entire weekend was so much fun, and so comforting to know that after so much time and such different daily lives, we can all come together and be best friends again. I look forward to more trips in the future....after all, they still have to try the sno cones!

Here is our weekend in pictures..

Elvis' Home...Graceland. Living room...pretty cool stained glass

Kitchen...extremely dark

So many grammies

LOTS of rhinestones

In the Racquetball Court room, which now holds Elvis costumes and many awards.

This once was a mansion...strange, huh?

My camera died after this...although I can't say I needed too many more pictures of Graceland.

No pics of Peabody, but Julianna got a great one of the ducks making their walk along the red carpet and into the elevator.

At Central BBQ. We were going to the BBQ Festival, but because of the rain decided to go to the never-disappointing Central.

Skypeing with Sarah Kate in Western Australia...how cool! She got to be a part of the weekend halfway across the world. We miss you, Kater!

Okay, this takes some explaining. After our baked french toast breakfast, Randy decided he would help us have fun. Seconds later he brought out plaque indicator and had Julianna's mouth solid blue. Since she is a dental hygienist, she didn't think this was too weird. Jessi and I, however, thought this was the funniest thing ever and laughed till we cried. We got suckered into taking the test next, and guess who had the worst amount of plaque?? ME! Looks like my husband will have plenty of work to do on his favorite patient soon!
