Tasty Travels in Memphis 10

Scott and I went to Memphis to celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary, which is Monday, August 2nd.  We went out to eat, shopped, and relaxed.  Here are some of the places that we went and some of the things that we did.

 
Our first stop was Joe's Crab Shack.  This place is one of our favorites, and a must whenever we go to Memphis.  I got a sampler platter that had jumbo crab stuffed shrimp, fried oysters, great balls of fire, fried snapper, and fried shrimp.  Scott got a sunset fire crab steampot that had snow and dungeness crab legs, andouille sausage, and boiled shrimp.  It was all so yummy. 

Scott's all ready to dig in

Our next big highlight was when we went shopping.  I found the best deal.  I got 3 pairs of jeans for $12 bucks a piece.  I NEVER find deals like that on jeans at the Express.  Usually when they go on sale, they never have my size.  Talk about cheesin' from ear to ear.



Our next treat was our very first time visiting Cold Stone Creamery.  Uh, YUM!  I got the Coffee Lovers creation except I got the sweet cream ice cream instead of coffee ice cream, and Scott got the Founder's Favorite.  There was so much ice cream in the cups.  Man, it was more than I could eat.  Very delicious though.  I see why everyone raves about it.


The last time we went to Memphis, Scott's cousin put us on this wonderful restaurant.  The Half Shell is a seafood restaurant that is very, very yummy! We both had the New Orleans Pasta, and it was sooooo delish.

Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken is also a must when we go to Memphis.  Their chicken is just so good.  People were lining up before the place even opened just to get some.  And if you can't tell, the place isn't the biggest.  That didn't stop folks from crowding in to wait for a table.  Luckily, we were there early, so we got a table as soon as they opened. 

We had a great time in Memphis on our Tasty Travels.  The weekend just went by so fast.  It was a good weekend to enjoy Memphis and be with my love, Scott.
