Eating at Central BBQ in Memphis
Waking up at 6:15 the next morning to the fire alarm in our hotel
Thinking it was actually the alarm clock
Trying to kill the alarm clock
Eventually processing Michael telling me it was really the fire alarm
Grabbing Theo and making it to the first step on the stairs only to hear it finally stop
Deciding to continue the road trip to Danville, Kentucky
Running in the yard with Henry, Michael, Theo and Gipper
Visiting with Rebecca, Dennis, Henry and Gipper
Watering the grass with Henry
Enjoying Dennis' fantastic burgers and mushrooms
Watching Spongebob with the Chatham's before bed
Sleeping like a log
Photographing Theo's first encounter with a mullet at our last stop on the way home

Learning that the mullet was actually asking Michael for money and wasn't interested in the dog
Admiring rural West Virginia and Virginia
Crossing my fingers that someone cut our grass
Coming home to a jungle in our yard
Hearing our duplex neighbor outside with a manual push mower (YAY)
Unpacking
Feeling grateful for such a wonderful trip
