Birds in Flight

the Hirsch Birds travel America!

[hirschbirds]

Memphis was fantastic! Thanks to AirB&B we were able to stay in a room that was just ten minutes from downtown Memphis and 1 minute away from the best BBQ around. Minus the slightly strange monkey statue, our room was cozy and comfortable (yay tempur-pedic mattress!). We had breakfast at a local coffee shop then headed downtown. We didn't have much time to spend downtown but we enjoyed every minute of it. We wondered about Beale street and bought some cheesy souvenirs along with a CD recorded by a local musician, Dr. "Feel good" Potts. Can't wait to go back! Next stop, Arkansas!

Nashville

We were lucky enough to have been able to stop in Nashville for dinner & drinks with two of our favorite people, Brian and Mallorie! We ate delicious burgers at a place called the pharmacy. Jackie had a falafel and goat cheese burger and Katie had an all American cheese burger... with bacon of course. (www.thepharmacynashville.com) Next stop, Memphis!

We had the greatest time at the Jack Daniels distillery! We learned more than we could have ever imagined about the making of whiskey, and our tour guide was fantastic! We even got to sample 3 of the finest whiskies in the land!

We pulled over to take a selfie with the "Welcome to Tennessee" sign! Murphy was not very happy... as you can see.

We had amazing time at the aquarium! Learned so many new things, and tried very hard to remember all that we had learned from growing up by the sea. :)

Went to the flying biscuit for breakfast and had classic southern food. We walked around the beautiful city of Atlanta and drank some delicious coffee from Caribou coffee company. Jackie found a $20 bill in the street after breakfast, so we knew it was going to be a good day. After refueling with the coffee we dropped off Murphy at Pet-smart for a spa day and headed off to the Georgia aquarium.
