A few memories from the trip (this is mainly for me - please do not feel like you have to read):
- Jackson cried for about 15 minutes when we first arrived in the hotel room. He kept crying for "home" and running to the door to open it and leave. It was nap time and he'd been in the car for a few hours. But, I do have to say that Jeremy and I looked at each other and both thought that this could be a LONG trip. (FYI, Jackson was fine after a nap).
- We stayed at a hotel right across the street from the Gibson Guitar Factory. As soon as Jackson went down for his nap, I sent Jeremy to go tour it. He talked about it for the rest of our time in Memphis. :)
- We went to the zoo on "Tennessee residents get in FREE day" (evidently every Tuesday). It was a little crazy. One of the zoo employees told me that it was always crowded (every day).
- We spent one morning at the Children's Museum of Memphis. Jackson loved it. It was also a little busy as a large school group was there - but it was fun. By far, the water table where you could "fish" was Jackson's favorite. When we left, his shirt was soaking wet.
- Jackson napped well while we were there. Going to sleep at night was another thing. He was wired - and I think all of us sleeping in the same room was different/exciting for him. One night he called the hogs (woo pig sooie) while Jeremy and I ignored him and tried not to laugh. Once he got to sleep it was fine - it was just hard to get there.
- Overall, it was a fun and not-too-busy trip. I'd say it went pretty well for our first family trip (not visiting family/staying in a hotel).
