Happy Birthday, Rachel!

So.... today is Rachel's Birthday. Happy Birthday, Rachel! We celebrated with a quick trip to Memphis. Wednesday night, we stayed at The Madison, had dinner at Grill 83 (tiny crab cakes, corn pudding, foie gras BLT, fried quail egg - yum, yum), and spent some time up on The Madison's rooftop patio.



The evening was cool, and there was a breeze blowing. It was really nice.



On Thursday, after watching the Ducks at the Peabody and before entertaining angels (see yesterday's post), we hung out at Beale Street.

A. Schwab's is an old mercantile which sells all manner of crazy stuff, including fun hats. Rachel would try one on,



then I'd find one,



then Rachel,



then me...



Across the street is a fun little store called Strange Cargo. First Rachel found a pair of sunglasses,



then I tried a pair,



then Rachel,



then me...



Happy Birthday, Rachel! I had a great time. I hope you have a wonderful day!
