Hi! We're heading off on a 40-day road trip across the great USA, starting Friday, April 9, 2010. Here, we hope to capture all the times - good, bad and ugly - to share with friends and family and to have as a record of what we hope to be an amazing adventure.

We plan to update every day or two and would love to hear from you - we'll miss you, you know.

Also, feel free to play Where In North America Are The LaurAndy's? on Facebook to win awesome prizes (no cash, just prizes...and probably pretty chintzy ones, too...we're unemployed at the moment.)

See you along the road!

Day 14...Memphis/Dallas

The majority of our day today was spent on the drive from Memphis to Dallas, but we did do one last touristy thing before we hit the road.

Memphis has a pretty cool exhibit called The Mud Island River Park, which features an exact scale model of the Lower Mississippi River kind of carved into the cement.  It has markers alongside, letting you know which city you would be in and opens into a "Gulf of Mexico" where you could rent a paddle boat (we did not.)  It was quite crowded with kids...seems everywhere we've visited, there is always a school trip...so, we walked down to the Gulf and back.  It's located on an actual island that lies between Memphis and West Memphis, which is in Arkansas, so you can either take a monorail or walk the 1/3 mile each way, which we chose, since we've been enjoying too much BBQ lately.

The trip to Dallas was fairly uneventful...we finally made it around 7:15 and checked into our hotel and promptly located the closest Chili's...we had a gift card...yum.
