This was just an overnightstop at St. Louis, Missouri. We left straight from school and came to St. Louis, where we ate dinner at their mall and stayed at an…interesting…hotel! Yay!
On the way to Memphis, we stopped at Lambert’s Café at Sikeston, MO. It was AMAZING. The place was packed, and it was a place no one has ever eaten before! We sat down for lunch. The drink cups were huge. The food portions were huge. AND the waiters threw hot rolls at you! On purpose!!! It was fun. We all caught a Hoooot Roll!

It is Candle! But look like food!!

On Saturday, we drove to Memphis, Tennessee, where we arrived just in time for the St. Patty’s Day Parade! At first we were sad because we were right underneath an awning of a bar, where on the roof, there were people yelling. It turned out to be a good thing though, because the Paraders(?) knew them and “threw” beads up to them! About 99% of the time they missed, and that’s how we got 60 green necklaces, and 40 other different colors and a whole bag full of candy. We almost got a Grizzly Flag, which would’ve been great to use during our B-Ball Game that we went to at FedEx Forum, The Grizzly’s vs. The Denver Nuggets, but that was ok. We took a trolley to the game. After the game, we put on our suits and went to the outdoor hot tub.
Do you think like a Princess!!

part1:Elvis's house
When we woke up, we went to Elvis Presley’s house, in Memphis. It was HUGE! We had this cool audio tour thing and we got the Platinum Tour (I think…) Anyway, it was the tour where we could see his cars and go in his airplanes and stuff. It was cool.
Pink car!!

After we were done touring Elvis’s House, we went to Nashville. We stayed at Drury Inn Hotels and Suites, just like grandma told us too. It was FUN. The suites were HUGE and as you know, we got free food and beverages. I don’t know if you know this though. Their website said they had an indoor and outdoor pool, which they do, but the two pools are connected. You swim under the wall to get outside! Jade was brave enough to go outside.
MOON walk
DAy 5: Parthenon & Indianapolis
We went to the Parthenon which was full of artwork and statues. It was cool. Athena was waaaay tall though. I was only as tall as her shoe! Oh well. Oh and Percy Jackson and the Olympians? Good movie, but they totally faked the Parthenon scene. >:)

We drove to Indianapolis and checked into our hotel. It was a nice hotel with a nice water park. They had 3 fast slides, a lazy river, a fountain area, hot tubs, and a pool with basketball hoops that someone pooped in. Other than that, it was really fun. The lines were very short. They had 2 pools. All the water was warm, except for the hot tub. It was colder than the pool was! So after the water park closed we went to the other pool to swim, until we found some brown thing floating in the water, so, remembering what happened in the other pool, we got out real quick.

Day 6:Chicago
All we really did in Chicago was go to Chinatown to eat lunch and buy some food. This was a really fun trip. Next year, we might go back to Chicago during the St. Patrick’s Day Parade to compare it to the Memphis Parade. Bye for now!
