Bullets Over Broadway!

We finally made it to Memphis! We are quite pleased with Hernando Point Campground which is actually about 30 miles from Memphis in Hernando, Mississippi. It is an Army Corps of Engineers campground, very quiet and low key right on a beautiful lake. Since Steve got a Federal Senior Pass that cost $10, our cost here is only $9/night for water and electric. They had to switch our site three times because they had some flooding, but we can still see the lake and it's so quiet and peaceful here!

Yesterday we had lunch with Steve's son at the infamous Arcade Diner, the oldest diner in Memphis!




What brought us to Memphis is Steve's son who is playing in the pit orchestra for the national tour of a musical  "Bullets Over Broadway." The story was originally a Woody Allen movie but is now paired with songs to turn it into a Broadway musical.  Brian has been all over the country with this show, and the closest venue for us was to drive to Memphis! It's a great, lively musically with an especially good Reed III player!
