Columbus > Memphis > Batesville, MS



I tried to switch to a later flight because I had a lot of stuff to do at home.  But it wasn’t possible.  So I was on a 11:50a flight to Memphis.

Got to Memphis, got my rental car and then headed to Tom’s BBQ & Deli.



It’s a “Diner’s Drive-In’s & Dives” place that I had been to in football season.  It was still super yummy!

From there, I headed down to Batesville. 

Batesville is about 30 minutes outside Oxford.  We are staying there because there aren’t enough hotel rooms in Oxford.  With 7 softball teams, a baseball team, 2 ESPN crews and it being graduation weekend…..  (There is a baseball game on Thursday night; hence the extra team and crew)

Got checked into the hotel and got settled.  
It’s a Holiday Inn – but it’s truly not bad.  I have stayed here before.

Ended up taking a little nap.

I needed to go to Wal Mart, so in the evening I ran over there and then stopped at Chili’s for takeout.

Later, I went and hung out with a few of my friends, Steve, Heather and Mike.  It was so good to see everyone again!
