Treasure Hunting- Day 3



A Pyramid and 6 Trolls Oh, My!

We grabbed some breakfast at the hotel and hit the road running. We were about 2 hours away from our first stop, The Bass ProShop Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee. 
We took the elevator up to the top...

It was pretty awesome. We spent some time wandering the shop before heading to our next stop, the Memphis Botanical Gardens. 

I am not sure if you have heard about Thomas Dambo, but he is a Danish artist who recycles materials into Troll Sculptures. We have one in the U.P. (Ben2ny the Beardfisher).  The botanical garden in Memphis has 6 trolls on  display until May 21, 2025.

Then, we hit the road, venturing into 2 new to us states! 



We will be exploring more in both states (Mississippi and Louisiana) over the next few days as our home base is right near their border. It will be nice to have a few days of exploring with not quite as much driving for a few days. 

Being that blogger keeps crashing, here is the link to all of our photos. I will flip photos when things are working again: https://photos.app.goo.gl/fDrwDWmKdVsxCKXWA

Cruisin' to Alaska & Visiting Vancouver- Day 2

(not our cruise ship)  Hello Vancouver!  (Our view from our hotel last night) We slept in this morning. After yesterday's long day of travel and the time change for us, today was a much needed day to take it easy. We booked this "extra day" as a buffer to make sure we made it here in time if there were any travel snaffoos. Luckily, we mad eit here on time with no issues!  Then we made our way into the city to the Pan Pacific Hotel.  Our view here is a little bit different ;). Our conference will kick off here tomorrow before we board the ship. We are on the 20th floor and the view is gorgeous!  We spent the afternoon wandering around in Vancouver. We found an art museum, and a comic book/ anime store!  Our hotel is amazing and right on the water....  We took a late afternoon rest at the hotel and went venturing out on the pier before dinner.  (the rooftop pool area on level 8 of our hotel.
