This weekend we went to Memphis to see my nephew Andrew play football. For those of you who don't know he plays for Washington University in St. Louis. (V.P. debates were held at his school.) Anyway we left Friday afternoon and got to Memphis around 7. Katie had many firsts this weekend. As soon as we got to the hotel my brother took her to the hotel bar while I got ready for dinner. We went to downtown Memphis and ate at Rendevouz if anyone knows about that place. Famous for their ribs. We went back to the hotel and got to visit with Andrew. At midnight Katie finally crashed. That was her first time to stay up that late and sleep in a hotel. The next morning we went to breakfast in the hotel and Katie made friends with everyone there. She was smiling and waving at everyone! It was also her first time to eat biscuit and gravy. She is definately my child because she LOVED it. Later that morning we took off to Rhodes College to tailgate before the game. (Another first for Katie) I was a little worried but it was great. We spread out a blanket in the shade and she played and again made friends with everyone. We went to the game and for the first quarter she payed attention to the game. She was having a blast. Now remember she did not go to bed until midnight and at this point had not had a nap and it was 3. At halftime we decided to leave. Katie slept 4 out of the 4 1/2 hours home. It was fun to see everyone. Here are some pictures. The stone buildings are buildings at the campus of Rhodes College. It was absolutely breathtaking. Back to work tomorrow! Yuck. Oh also Adam is coming home this weekend. I can't wait to see him. We are going to the pumpkin patch and having an early birthday party for him since he won't be here for his birthday.
