Southern Girls Road Trip

Mississippi - Girl Trip!

I love a good road trip with girl friends. This past summer myself and three other friends hit the road and headed east towards my hometown, Memphis, Tennessee. Once we arrived at my mom’s house, we ordered take out from my favorite Vietnamese restaurant and visited with my favorite girls (and their babies) from M town.

We spent the rest of our time in Memphis exploring thrift stores, visiting the Stax Museum, eating tons of delicious food, walking down Beale Street, and getting overdressed to go out to the local bars.

Even with all that fun, my favorite part of the trip was heading down to Oxford, Mississippi for a spell. My dear friend Erin lives in an amazing 100 year house down the road in the tiny, yet oh so cute, town of Water Valley. We spent an afternoon in Oxford and then danced the night away at the only bar in Water Valley. We had to enter through an unmarked backdoor – no signs or anything. Turns out liquor sales aren’t very popular in this little southern town.

On the drive back to Memphis from Oxford we passed a graveyard of bathtubs. We immediately made a U-turn and had an impromptu photo shoot.
