We scored a rare free weekend and flipped a coin to decide whether to go to Memphis! or take Daisy out for the first camping trip of 2012. Memphis! won out after a two-out-of-three flip session. In eastern Arkansas we came upon a double rainbow<\/a> that just wouldn’t go away. After about 15 minutes of driving with it right outside the window we decided to pull over and partake of its glory. <\/p>\n

We really wanted to go to Memphis! in order to eat at Rendezvous<\/a>. In the past, we’ve gotten over that way at least once a year, but we let three years go by this time. Abby was two the last time we ate the succulent dry-rubbed BBQ, so she didn’t remember just how great it is.<\/p>\n

Her eyes fired up when she took that first chomp. And rightly so. The restaurant was hitting on all cylinders that night.<\/p>\n

We hit Mud Island<\/a> the next day. The poles at the marina are marked with the high-water level from last year’s epic floods<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mud Island is home to a half-mile long scale replica of the lower Mississippi River<\/a>, which is extremely neato. It’s a great place for kids because they can get in the water and splash around. Abby looks like a giantess standing athwart the mightiest river in North America.<\/p>\n

And this guy in a kayak looks like a tiny ant man compared to the full monty of Ol’ Man River.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
