tour guide

welcome to memphis.

C's nephew created this flat stanley character and sent him a couple hundred miles south to learn the lay of this land. he was supposed to arrive the week before christmas, but apparently got sidetracked by the holiday hoopla. therefore, sans chris, stan and i had a delightful time discovering the city this weekend. it's funny how you can live in a place, day in and day out, going through the motions, and not truly appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. or the history and culture it holds.

we spent the afternoon gallivanting around, taking in the sights and smells. and not even a torn pectoralis major could stop this little one. he had his arms wide open, ready for adventure the whole time!

here's a highlight reel of the home of the blues.

and wouldn't you know, i happen to love to host people made of flesh and bone too. not just of the paper variety. so, if you are ever in the area, please give me a holla. because this city is just waiting to be discovered.

check in tomorrow to see if you were a lucky winner of the first annual a is for amor giveaway. the drawing will occur tonight, so comment if you would like to be included! xo
