Memphis - Day 2

Pergandes had a very busy day 2 in Memphis. We started our day at a church service at the Full Gospel Tabernacle Church, which was founded by Al Green. We enjoyed gospel and breakfast and a unique experience to be remembered.




We stayed in South Memphis and happened upon the famous Uncle Lou's. We enjoyed fried chicken, fried pickles and "corrupted" carrots. Didn't realize until we got there that this place had already been discovered by the food network. Fun and tasty surprise...




After lunch, we headed to Sun Studios where Elvis Presley was discovered and recorded his first single - "That's All Right". We really enjoyed the tour, having old fashioned sodas, and "singing" into the original microphone that has recorded the likes of Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Jerry Lee Lewis...





We then headed back to our hotel for a quick break and swim in the outdoor hot tub...



We were excited to see the local Memphis Redbirds play a game at Autozone Park. It was a beautiful night. The kids enjoyed playing before the game at the batting cages, slides, radar guns, etc... However, we were bummed to find out (after we purchased our tickets) that the game would be cancelled because of the "record setting" rains that hindered field conditions...




So we headed to another walk down Beale street before hunkering down to a family movie night at the hotel. Good second day...
