Memphis - A Failed Rendezvous

Gina and I had another 3-day weekend and decided to come to Memphis to visit.  Really just to get out of the house primarily and Memphis was the ticket this time.  We chose to stay at Millington NSA--Millington Naval Support Agency's RV Park known as Midway RV Park.  It's quaint and a great location to launch a visit to Memphis about 15 miles away.  I'll try and get some pictures of the park tomorrow.  Anyway, we got here late afternoon and went into town for groceries.  I decided to make some gumbo.  Turned out really good, but not like I'd expected.  Already have plans to change it some more.  After dinner, we chilled out with some drinks and dug in for the night.

Next day, headed into Memphis hungry for some of Rendezvous' famous BBQ.  Closed!  Seems the whole town closes on Sunday.  Geesh.

Next stop...grub, 'cause we were hungry, but on the way to Mud Island, another attraction we wanted to see, nothing was open.  So we asked if there was a cafe once we got to the park.  "Oh, yes, we have a cafeteria."  Yeah, right.  This is the "cafeteria" at Mud Island.  We both agreed that this is probably the worst meal we've shared as a couple EVER.

The attraction primarily at Mud Island is the River Walk.  Memphis made a working full-length replica of the Mississippi River from top to bottom that you could walk on, through, and around.  There were other things to see, but the walk is the main attraction for us.  First pic is entrance, second is the rail ride to the island, and the remaining are the replica of the river.
