Playing Hooky in Memphis

John Mark and Tyler went to Memphis today to a Pro Tennis Tourney. Tyler wanted to go to the US Open in NY, so this was our compromise!!

JM said it was actually a very nice tournament. They ended up with very up-close and personal box seats. They both had a great time, and Mom was a little jealous when she saw pics because she would have loved to have been there and watched. Maybe next year!!!!

Tyler called in "sick" to school today which actually turned out to be the truth. Be careful what you ask for!!! Tyler started complaining about a stomach ache as they began their 5 hour drive to Memphis. By noon, the vomiting and diarrhea set in. Tyler was a real trooper through all the trips to the bathroom! He (and JM) were determined to stay to see Roddick and Sharapova play late tonight. And they did.

Tyler got quite a few autographs. Not Sharrapova :( She turned and left with only the two boys left in line! What was that about!?!?!

Side Note ----Tyler is a big fan of Man vs. Food. On the way to Memphis, he looked up where Man vs. Food had gone in Memphis. One of the places was Gus's, so they decided to go there for lunch. Well, the wait at 11:30 was 2 hours so they decided to take a pic and head on to the tourney!

Great day away! They got home at 4:30 on Friday morning.
