Next we drive to Memphis. A good friend from online wanted to meet us there - she drove three hours to see us and have lunch at Leonard's Pit Barbecue. Memphis was nice - though we didn't really explore the city....much. Besides our GPS taking us directly to the middle of the industrial area - which was odd. We found Leonard's, which was great food. I swear, I think the best sourdough biscuits in the country exist in that place. (I haven't had San Francisco sourdough, so that doesn't count.) After that, came another long car ride. We drove through six states in one day and night. Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina. In Georgia, we stopped at a little town called Chamblee. Yes, we wanted to show the kids the town named after our family. We took a bunch of pictures of different signs with the kids...including a police car. I'm sure the officer sitting in the car thought we were crazy when we asked if we could take a picture, but he was very gracious.
