Memphis Flood

Since the river crested today at 48 feet just short of a new record, Drew and I just had to finally make the trip downtown to see the big news story!  It was amazing!  Driving over the bridge to Arkansas was unbelievable.  The river was enormous!

Of course we had to turn the event into a tourist attraction.  Once we got downtown, we realized we weren't the only ones!  There were lots of families, lots of cameras, and a lot of oohs and ahhs!

Here are a few pictures of our family with our camera.  As expected, there were lots of oohs and ahhs.

We made it to the corner of Beale and Riverside and took our picture right on the edge of the river.  That's about as close to the river as I'll probably get ever again.
