GETAWAY WEEKEND

September 25th - David and I escaped to Tunica, MS this weekend for some R&R. We dropped Avery off with her Great Grandma and Papa and hit the road. However, we were really missing Avery by the time we passed through Jackson. We arrived in Tunica late on Friday night so we didn't do anything. On Saturday we slept late, had a good breakfast and lost some money at Caribbean Stud Poker so we decided to visit the Memphis Zoo. We had a great time at the zoo but it is not a place you want to visit when you really miss your child. I would totally recommend the Memphis zoo to anyone, it is much better than the Nashville zoo. We topped off the day with a trip to the outlet mall, a nap, dinner at Paula Deen's buffet, another place I would recommend to anyone visiting Tunica and some quality time in the Casino helping put some money back into the economy. David and I had a great weekend getaway. We weren't able to quit our jobs today because we hit the jackpot but we did come home with more money then we left with, which is the goal.


Elephants, my favorite animal.
The Memphis zoo has two panda's on loan from China. I once saw a panda many years ago in a California zoo w/ my parents.

The hippo's were magnificent. I have never seen one up close...they are huge.

Paula Deen and I on her porch in front of her buffet. (OK, so it is a cut out of her but who can really tell).
