Parents in Memphis

My parents came to visit Memphis last weekend. It was great to have them here! A highlight of the weekend was taking them to the Memphis in May BBQ Cooking Contest. Since Memphis is known for its BBQ, I knew this was the place we needed to be. It was definitely an interesting time. We saw a lot of sights and also were able to eat some BBQ from a booth. You can't taste people's BBQ unless you has a pass to their booth. Well, we had a pass to the Hog Wild booth. My parents were able to taste some authentic Memphis BBQ. Here are some pics:

My mom and I in front of a huge BBQ. It kind of looks like a big apple. We had just had a sample of some pork loin. So good, we made our own on the grill the following night.

Some other highlights from their visit:

1. Chipping in the backyard. Yes that is with a sand wedge and you have to try to get it into the bucket. ADB was the only one to get it in the bucket. I came close, but no cigar. We did this a lot.
2. Playing pool.
3. Playing the Wii. (Thanks Rob and Tiff)
4. Eating waffles with my new waffle maker.
