I went to a reunification last weekend of six families who met each other in China when we take on daughter through the same bureau . That was June of 1998 . Those six babies are turning eleven now , and the families have grown to a sum of 13 tike from China , India , and Mongolia .
The girls were just happy to see each other , but there are a lot of fun things to do in Memphis , no matter what your years .
John , the Duckmastergraciously welcomed our group of over two dozen , as well as the rest of the bunch .
Three of our girls ( choose by a unsighted drawing ) were honorary duckmasters for the sunup . They carried duck fountainhead canes and escorted the duck down from the penthouse , through the crowd , and into the outpouring . They were pretty pleased with the honor .
The Duckmaster told narration and posed for depiction until the crowd thinned out , then took us on a tour of the Peabody .
The sentiment of the city and the Mississippi River is pretty nerveless from that elevation .
We toured the grand dance hall and a dance residence where big bands played on a regular basis . They still do , although not as often as when the hotel first open at its present location in 1925 . A museum room holds memorabilia and photographs from those days .
The biggest treat for the Kyd was the kitchen go , which include new cooky . The Peabody does not buy bread , rolling wave , cakes , cookies , or pies from outside . All lolly and pastries are bake on website .
We watched a pastry chef put tuxedos on strawberries . He dip them in blanched drinking chocolate , then cautiously dipped them at an angle in dark chocolate , and cease by painting on buttons and a bow tie beam with more chocolate ! I founda recipewith a nice picture for you .
After leaving the hotel right , we visited theBelz Family Museum of Asian and Judaic Art , in the extensive Peabody Place mall . Jack Belz , the CEO of thecompanythat owns the Peabody Hotel , and his married woman Marilyn have roll up tons of astonishing artifacts over the days , many from the Qing Dynasty . Our pathfinder tell howling stories about the work and the polish behind them . The lady friend were awed by the paintings , embroidery , and carving , like this marvelous palace carve from bone .
This is just the beginning of the many places to see and thing to do in Memphis . The ease of our weekend isrecorded in another place .
