David and I just spent a night at the Peabody in Memphis. We got the Holiday rate, which made it more affordable for us. We arrived at the hotel in time to listen to Christmas carols sung by choirs from the local public schools. The lobby remained packed all afternoon and swelled unbelievably as the wait for Santa began.

The bed was super comfy. The linens were soft and supple. The pillows had just the right amount of fluff. The towels and amenities were first-class. We stayed on the 8th floor and had a view of Union Avenue. We could see the Mississippi from our room.

We had lunch at Dyers where the hamburgers are fried in one-hundred-year-old grease. Needless to say, they were greasy and delicious. We took a trolley ride around the riverfront. After the Duck March and Santa, we had salad and pizza at the Cappricio Grill at the hotel.

Afterwards, we went for a carriage ride and had to get under blankets to stay warm. The evening was crisp and cold. After returning to the hotel, we had chocolate and coffee to cap off a great evening.

This morning, we had breakfast at Tamp and Tap...D had bacon, egg, and cheese while I had an everything bagel with chipotle cream cheese. The cream cheese was spicy but good. After checking out of the hotel, we went to the Pyramid--Bass Pro Shops. That place is awesome.

It has a bowling alley, a lake with boats, an alligator pond, a hotel, and a restaurant. Of course we ate there because we love to eat. D had a burger and I had the fish and chips. We got a side of onion rings. We ate well as usual!
