Hurricane Evacuation

During the Hurricane we were in Ohio, a perfectly planned trip! We of course couldn't fly back on Monday like planned, so instead of flying here, we flew to Memphis. There my parents met us and we stayed at my Aunt and Uncle's House. One day we drove around downtown to see some of the sights. Here is the pyramid where the Grizzlies used to play.












Shaun was excited to be in the city where the king got his start! Just kidding!






















We also went to Beale St. Mom dropped us off on one end of the street and we walked down to the other end where she picked us up. There was actually a lot of people out there. We determined some were leftover from Labor Day, and others were evacuees.















































Mud Island











Sun Studios

































This place was packed!!















We drove down Elvis Blvd. to see Graceland. This was a billboard there.











The Lisa Marie plane.













Graceland, can't see much.






























We were able to spend the day with my Uncle for his birthday, so we went out to Hibachi to celebrate.





























The Buddha Drink




















Uncle Jimmy got a gift and pinapple dessert cake, and they also sang to him.




















The Hurricane Damage...I had 2 trees fall....

































Well here's the before and after.



































Really I just had a lot of limbs and trash.

Ohio Trip

Shaun and I went to Ohio for Labor Day (or evacuation). Our flight was cancelled Monday (we were going to fly into NO), so we had to fly into Memphis and meet my parents to catch a ride back. Here are some pics of our trip.

This is a pic of St. Louis from the plane, if you look closely you can see the arch.















Shaun's family lives on a farm in Bradford, OH. Here's their house.














This is the view from the porch looking to the left.














And the view to the right.















They had a bird feeder stand and I caught a picture of the finches.














Here's a close up of the birds.















Here are their roosters.






























We played some crochet, badmitten and volleyball. Shaun was serving like the olympians.



















Snoopy and Bear played too.














Sunday night we sat outside to make a fire for roasting, I caught this shot before it got completely dark.














We roasted weenies and marshmallows.
