Mud Island - Downtown Memphis

We were in Memphis 1 1/2 years ago, but never made it out to Mud Island. Friends of our said it would be worth seeing so we decided yesterday to head on out there. They have an exhibits, which is a miniature recreation of the Mississippi from start to finish.



I knew that the Mississippi was a long river, but even as a miniature model, it sure was a long walk to get to the Gulf of Mexico. The museum on the island was also pretty interesting.

Of course being in Memphis you have to go to Beale Street. Last time we went I did not take any pictures, so this time I just had to. What I love about Beale Street is the live bands that are playing in the small park on the right side or any of the beer gardens. There is just a lot of good music in the air.
