They eventually get downloaded to my Macbook, but I usually only post about one of every five that I shoot. The neglect is often just my forgetfulness. I plan to try and post them here once a week (Wednesdays) so that they are not lost into the folder abyss.

I had thought about trying to extend our hotel stay downtown, but ultimately I am glad I didn’t because the hotel was filled with over 3,000 teenagers who came into town for a student leadership conference. The wait for the hotel elevator was insane and I was very glad we were only on the 6th floor. (Six flights of stairs are better than twelve.)

My Aunt Liz, sweet as she is, asked her friends if we could join them at their lake house in Wauconda for a potluck and fireworks. The hostess graciously said yes, so we met everyone at a stop before heading over. Thankfully, my aunt has kids near my own girls’ ages, otherwise it would have been kind of a boring event for my girls. We had a good time and the girls got to go tubing for their first time. They had a blast.

not ready to get up yet a sufficient amount of stretching is required road warrior steals porkpie hat killing time until we met up with my aunts weird walgreens restroom sitting lakeside at my aunt's friend's house... we didn't really know anyone the cousins patiently waiting to be taken out on the boat for some tubing relaxing on a breezy summer day by the water Terry & Lex fireworks... this was the best shot I had, but thankfully Terry took more blue one red one pow boom the end ]]> http://buttershug.com/photoblog/saturday-at-bangs-lake/feed/ 0 Hangin’ in Memphis http://buttershug.com/photoblog/hangin-in-memphis/ http://buttershug.com/photoblog/hangin-in-memphis/#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 01:13:37 +0000 Nikki Murray http://buttershug.com/?p=509 Memphis is a great city, especially if you love blues. If you’re familiar with New Orleans, Beale Street is like the PG version of Bourbon Street: excellent food and great music but no b00bies. I had a great time, and the absolute best barbecue (and pancakes) that I’ve ever had in my life.

last night on Beale Street Bangkok Alley. Heh. a show I'd love to see the band lunch at B.B. King's blues club the only photo from the Gibson factory because they suck and don't allow photography inside bbq at Pig's (B.B. King's bbq was better) a historical landmark that guitar is a replica of one of Elvis' an old and out-of-order Pepsi machine on the premises where the magic happened instrumentals the faces that made Sun Records a hit waiting for the tour to start 50's style texting inside the infamous Sun Records building something bad happened here hmm I cannot believe I ate all of this sausage and biscuits capacity reached the attempt to eat two pizza-sized pancakes begins waiting for our food took a while because Dominique made sure it was the FINEST food they were serving breakfast at Li'l Anthony's ]]> http://buttershug.com/photoblog/hangin-in-memphis/feed/ 2
