Vacations

Getting to Memphis

After spending time with Nana, I hit the road for Memphis. The trip took about 4 hours as expected, and 22 was a fast smooth ride. I drove to the Airport to drop off the Nissan Hatchback at Alamo by the airport and Mom came to pick me up. We went back to the house and had some dinner that Dad had gotten from the Club. It was a nice salad and some really tasty soup.

They gave me an iPad for my birthday, which was really nice of them. I of course downloaded the latest Zynga games along with the Supercell games.

Dad showed me the latest guitars he’s been working on, and they both look and sound really good.

Mom brought up the 23 and me info and we talked over it for a while, I showed he how to go more in depth for the ancestry and how to look at it in chromosome view.

Mom also had some really tasty cookies she had baked using almond flour. They had a really great tast and texture, and I think I’d like to give baking some almond flour cookies a try.

I had a great night’s sleep last night and woke up around 9:30 at Jeff’s, got ready, and headed to Birmingham. I forgot to get the 23 and Me kits from Jeff, but I’ll just remind people to get them and use them at their convenience. The drive to Birmingham was uneventful and nice.

When I got there I went to Nana’s house and gave her the trivet/bowl. She and Coleman thought it was really neat, and I think they will get some use out of it. We went down 280 a ways to Joe’s Crab Shack for lunch and we all got the Surf N’ Turf burger. It was pretty good, but I couldn’t get close to finishing it. She gave me a big update on the family, which was nice to hear, and all of the stuff that she had been up to. She gave me a tiny Disney Rubik’s Cube to give to Mom. I showed her my diving video from Cathedrals off Carmel and gave her the link to this blog.
