Memphis Day 1

So on Thursday, Dec 2 we head off to Memphis for Marathon Weekend
Russ was running the half-marathon as a St Jude Hero - helping to raise money
We spent the first night in Springdale, AK - Russ needed to check on one of  the stores
Our hotel gave us a suite - too bad we didn't check in till 10:30 PM
While Russ was having a meeting with the employees
- London got to enjoy the heart shape tub -
I am glad someone enjoyed it
 On the road again
View of Memphis while crossing the Mississippi
This year Russ treated London and I
We got to stay at the Peabody Hotel
This is such a beautiful old hotel - with so much class and charm
It was great being right downtown where the race starts and finishes
Our home for the weekend
Views from the roof top
I wish my pictures did justice for how beautiful it looks at Christmas time
Gingerbread House of the Peabody 
London wanted her picture taken with the "dog"

Our stay at the Peabody was everything I hoped it would be
It has such a warm, grand feeling about it
I can't wait to go back next year
