Memphis is a town that never sleeps and there is so much to do. I have been to Memphis and I still have a list things that I still want to do and see when I go back.

I am a foodie, so I have to get some barbecue. Yummy! Doesn’t this look mouth watering? Reminds me of when my family would barbecue in the backyard for holiday; but when I go to Memphis it will have their flair.

“Memphis barbecue is a delicious but complex culinary club that includes secret recipes, regional pride and kitschy vernacular. In Memphis look for barbecue, BBQ, Bar-B-Q and Bar-B-Que just to name a few.”

I have been to Corky’s, but I have to go back to try the pulled pork. That famous Corky’s barbecue sauce comes in so many different varieties that my taste buds always want to go back for more.

The Civil Rights Museum is one of the must see places to visit in Memphis. Housed at the Lorraine Motel, the site of Martin Luther King’s assassination, the museum examines the struggles and victories of Dr. King and other civil right’s activists.

I am an avid connoisseur of beautiful flowers and gorgeous landscapes, so I must see the Memphis Botanic Garden.

The Memphis Botanic Garden offers a haven of both natural serenity and fun for the family with its My Big Backyard children’s area, farmers market, plant sales, paths and Japanese garden. The Botanic Garden is also home to the summer concert series, featuring top-names of today and yesterday. Last year, my hubby and I saw Duran Duran perform at the Garden during their North American tour. It was an awesome show, one that I won’t soon forget.

I am an advocate for animals, I have to go see Shelby Farms. The animals are so cute.

As the largest urban park in the United States, Shelby Farms Park is home to not only a herd of American Bison but also bike trails, horseback riding, running trails, playgrounds, and a lake. This is right up my alley because my husband and I love to be outdoors.

If you have ever been on a boat ride there is nothing like a cruise down the river. Riding on the American Queen would be a real treat.

Oh my goodness! Rocking to Take Back The Night as I am dreaming of dancing on the American Queen while seeing the sun setting. I went to Memphis on a dinner cruise and it was so romantic my hubby and I had such a good time. To read my article on the review of the cruise and trip please click on MEMPHIS.
