My little brother, Kyle, is leaving for bootcamp in 10 days! More power to him, I wouldn't be able to handle it. So, next Friday I leave for Colorado to see him sworn into the United States Marine Corps and leave for Camp Pendleton. (added plus, trip to San Diego in August when he graduates!) For one last hurrah (or Hurah as the USMC say) baby bro came to Memphis for Beale Street Music Fest (BSMF) at Tom Lee Park, downtown. I'm still exhausted! We didn't get in bed before 1 or 2am the whole time he was here. This was taxing on 28-year-old big sis who likes to go to bed at 10. Not to worry, we weren't affected by the flood, nor did we get rained on.
First night at BSMF, we spent a lot of time at the Budweiser tent watching the Grizz game. (We won! So excited to see them in the NBA Finals!)
Day 2 at BSMF, starting out on Beale Street.
Saturday night with my 2 favorite fellas
Kyle's last night in town, dinner at Rendezvous (world famous ribs, if you've never been stop what you're doing and get down there!)
Then on to Silky O'Sullivan's so Kyle could have his first Diver. Thanks to his big sis, Kyle was later pulled up on the stage. All I did was ask if they would play The Marines' Hymn, I had no idea they'd pull him up on stage and embarass him! Of course, a Marine veteran congratulated him later and gave him $20 and said drinks on him. A good visit, all around.
This is Tom Lee Park 1 week after BSMF. Crazy!
