2008 my bro and I started a tradition and vowed to make it an annual weekend road trip. 2009 we planned the 2nd road trip and then somehow life got in the way 2010 through 2012 and we postponed our tradition.
Early in our relationship and probably even when we were just talking, I mentioned to Red Wings fan about Memphis in May and the BBQ Championships. He has only stopped through Memphis for work and really hasn't seen much if any of the city and said it might be fun to experience it. I jumped at the opportunity of planning what has always been a fun road trip for me. Red Wings fan also suggested we invite my bro along since it was our tradition to begin with. It didn't take much to get Bro on board with the trip and a few weeks ago, I booked our hotel and put the finishing touches on our plans.
Tomorrow morning, we're getting up bright and early and making the trek to Memphis for BBQ, Beale Street and more fun than I can possibly imagine with two of the most important special guys in my life. Somehow I think this trip will be filled with me laughing hysterically for 36 hours straight because when you put Red Wings fan and Bro together for any period of time, all I do is laugh. Who knows maybe we'll even come back with a few tricks to be the champs at Ribfest with Red Wing fans' family in Chicago in July. Either way, I'm super excited for the weekend ahead!
