Our Weekend Round Up

This past weekend, Christopher's sister and brother in law came to Memphis for a visit. I love when people make the trip to come and see us. Memphis truly does offer quite a few treasures to show off. Friday night, I made reservations at this new trendy restaurant that I've been wanting to try only to get there and see it was closed. I was pretty mad that the restaurant website still allowed you to make reservations. The sign on the door of the restaurant said they would be re-opening soon so maybe I'll give it another chance someday. After finding a place to eat, we traveled to our favorite country western bar for some after dinner drinks. Here's a picture of my sister in law and me. The lighting was not the best, so I tried to enhance the picture quality. It didn't work out too well : /

Saturday was just Gorgeous! In hopes to find some Christmas gifts, my sister in law and I went shopping for most of the day while the guys stayed home and watched football. Shopping for Christmas gifts was unsuccessful but we found some great things for ourselves. Don't you hate it when that happens? 

Sunday, we headed downtown for a lovely brunch at Automatic Slims. This place was very good and offered a huge selection of great brunch items. I would love to try their dinner menu because everything on it looked delicious. 

Given we were only steps from the Peabody, we headed over to see the ducks. The Peabody is in my mind, a Memphis treasure. The lobby is absolutely gorgeous and a great place to sit, relax, and have some drinks. I've never actually stayed in a room here but I've always wanted to. Christopher even suggested staying here as a fun date night/weekend together. We will see if we follow thru with that idea. 

 

The ducks were a little sleepy. They must have had the same brunch that we did. 

Look at how beautiful this flower arrangement is and those ceilings. Just Gorgeous! It's just another reason why I like visiting the Peabody. 

 

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as we did.
