10 Things to do Adventurous in Memphis That You Shouldn't Miss
Memphis is a pilgrimage for those wanting to visit the birthplace of the blues, of soul and of rock 'n' roll. On Beale Street, W.C. Handy put down on paper the first written blues music. Elvis, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all recorded at the historic Sun Records, which is now a museum. Graceland, the second most-visited home in America, welcomes visitors from around the world who yearn for a peek into the life of "the King." Beyond the music, Tennessee's largest city also offers much more. It has more sunny days each year than Miami, and combines southern tradition and hospitality with modern amenities. You'll enjoy great dining (be sure to sample the barbecued ribs), art galleries and exciting nightlife.

I took my 6 year old daughter for a pony ride at SF yesterday. She had a fantastic time. The guides were thoughtful regarding her nervousness, and had her comfortable in the saddle quickly. They took excellent Covid-19 precautions, even outdoors. While on the pony trail, we saw 6 deer on the hill above us, which was a fun surprise. I highly recommend this activity with SF Stables. The online booking option is super easy to use.

We were impressed with this visual representation of the Mississippi, it's flood plains and depths. After spending over an hour walking the length of the exhibit, we wished it would have continued all the way up river to Itasca! And the museum on site was an excellent depiction of the river history, boats, people, music...all the interesting facets the that make Memphis history fascinating.
