The trained staff and volunteers took out their time to make sure the girls were exposed to something new. They were gentle, patient, and kind to the participants. It was hot out of course, but this particular area is fully shaded. A very cool park!

I'm starting to become a fan of Memphis' smaller green spaces. There are small parks and massive…read moremedians scattered around the city that are usually less crowded than the large parks. That's why I love Peabody Park in midtown. It's smaller and less crowded than nearby Overton Park, and it's got some unique features. There are two large metal sculptures by local artist Yvonne Bobo, a pavillion, and a large playground. But the best thing about Peabody Park is the splash park. During the summer, it's packed with kids trying to cool off in the intermittent spray from fountains, geysers, misters and rainfalls. The park is also home to the Raymond Skinner Center, a community recreation center that has special resources for people with mental and physical disabilities. The splash park at Peabody Park is free and open daily during the summer.

Peabody Park is my favorite park in midtown. There are multiple slides, swings (including infant…read moreswings), monkey bars, fun little tunnels and playground games for the kids. There's also a little pavilion near the playground and a larger one off to the side near the splash park. During the summer, our girls love to don their bathing suits and run around in the motion controlled splash park sprinklers. There are smaller ones for the little kiddies and larger splashes for the fearless older kids. The equipment is all in good shape, and I never worry about my kids getting hurt. When we go out for family day, this is one of our favorite stops.

There were a lot of kids with their parents having a blast on the children's playground. We need parks to help foster a community as opposed to just having a bunch of people living close to each other. A park fosters community and allows us to gather in recreation. This is a nice park to foster the sense of community.

In the market for a Pontoon boat but dealers in our area had no inventory, so we flew down from…read morePortland Oregon to take a look. We met a fellow named Cooper in the showroom and handed him copies of two boats in their inventory that we wanted to see. He walked us up to the first one, and, without so much as a word, disappeared. We poked around for a few minutes as he directed other employees that were bringing boats into the showroom (it was about 45 minutes from closing time) and it was clear after about 15 minutes that he had no interest in showing us the other boat we had come to see, or in answering our questions. I had $45k burning a hole in my pocket, but i promise I'll never leave a dime of it at this place.

We came in October and the colors were beautiful. The fee is on the honor system (but please pay it, National Forests are super important and totally underfunded) but it's $5 for a vehicle to enter. Camping without a hookup is $7 and $20 for hookup. However, you need a reservation - we wanted to stay and there were no reservations available (but no one was in the park, so maybe it's because it's too late in the season?) so we left. Total bummer and I'm surprised - the weather was still pretty nice. Regardless, it's a beautiful place to go to and great road trip stop.

It's a scenic drive, which can also include camping, hiking, biking, and even horseback riding.

The Natchez Trace Parkway is a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road that stretches from…read moreNatchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. The Trace roughly follows the historic travel and trade route (the Old Natchez Trace) that was first established by American bison and Native Americans indigenous to the area. It was later used by boatmen, enslaved Africans, soldiers, and U.S. Presidents among others. The Trace is maintained by the US National Park Service and is said to contain 10,000 years of American history. Over the years, I've driven the majority of the Mississippi and Alabama segments of the Trace and have explored many of the historical sites and natural attractions along the Trace. A few of my personal favorites include the Sunken Trace, Cypress Swamp, Emerald Mound, and Rocky Springs ghost town. I also have fond memories from Summer 2004 of riding on the Trace and listening to BB King as a college student conducting a tour of Civil Rights Movement sites across the state of Mississippi (along with four other students and two Africana Studies professors from my alma mater). As you can tell, I hold the Trace in high regard. So, I was elated to return in Fall 2022 during my road trip through Louisiana and Mississippi. I drove the Trace from Natchez to Jackson (roughly 120 miles), and it was by far the most scenic and quintessentially Southern (referring to the rich, but also fraught, history of the Trace) stretch of my trip.
