Memphis

We recently took a two-day trip to Memphis, Tenn., to stay at the historic Peabody Hotel and see the infamous duck walk.

I've said it before, but it's been a while so it's worth repeating: I'm a hotel kind of girl. I love, love, love a great hotel.

The ducks come down from their penthouse palace each day at 11 am and spend the day in the lobby fountain.

Then, each evening at 5 pm, the ducks head back up to their palace for the night.

It's quite the show!

And because two rowdy kids need more action than hanging out in a hotel lobby all day, we spent some time at the Memphis Zoo.

This is one awesome zoo. It might rank as the best zoo I've ever visited. Practically any animal species you can think of is at the Memphis Zoo. The vast feline species is quite impressive.

It was overcast and cool. In short, the perfect day to walk around a zoo.
