Wednesday December 30, 2020 The Museum of Rock'n Soul - Society Memphis Indoor Skatepark

This KOA is a good one.  If you are ever in the area, this is a nice campground.  BUT. . . I found out that Graceland has an RV park as well. If I 'd known that, I probably would have stayed there instead of here at the KOA. The Graceland campground is closer to Memphis and seems to have a lot of space.  But, this KOA is still good:)



Look how adorable Graham is!!  He made us all sandwiches today.  Instead of writing names on the bags, he drew pictures that represented each person.  Can you guess who's is who's??  It's the small things like this that makes my day.  Love you Graham



Our big adventure today was to the Memphis Museum of Rock'n Soul. The forecast for today was rain so we decided to hit the indoor places on our check list.  This museum is the only Smithsonian that was put together by the institution but not run by them.  It's run by the people in Memphis.  The museum was really cool.  We got to see a movie that showed us the timeline of soul music.  Music from black people on Beale Street that evolved to gospel music, soul music and later to Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.  The museum had earphones that we got to put on to listen to the tour as we moved through the museum.  There were many jukeboxes in the museum that played music of the time. My favorite was Elvis Presley:))). Coolest music museum ever:)) 





























































The rest of the night was spent at an indoor skatepark.  It was a great place or the kids to play and have fun while staying out of the rain.  Society Memphis is a small indoor skatepark.  There weren't many ramps so Pepper ended up in the spectators room with me.  Another fun day in Memphis!!

  1. I am so impressed at how athletic all of your kids are, and I'm so grateful that Graham is doing well. You never posted your experience after my lesson a couple of weeks ago. That's ok if you changed your mind. Maybe we'll see your family at our Zoom testimony meeting this week. Happy, happy New Year, and safe travels!
