My First trip to VA Beach and with my in-laws!

My first trip with my in-laws by myself was an experience. It was a great way to get to know my in-laws. My mother-in-law I already knew lots about professionally, as she was my assistant principal when I worked at TXR and introduced me to her son Matthew. I didn't know as much about my brothers-in-law and sister-in-law, who after I went on this trip, I LOVE!!! This is the bunch, minus me. I took the picture! ;) My brother-in-lawJoseph, mybrother-in-law Jonny, my mother-in-law Linda, one of my nephews, and Jen. They are in front of the Neptune statue and the boardwalk.

This is one of my nephews. Isn't he adorable?!

Jonny and Jen watching the people go by.

My nephew can talk his Uncle Jonny into anything!

This is the amazing restuarant that we ate at on the boardwalk.

Summer Trip to Memphis 2010

What was supposed to be a Me & Mommy Trip

turned into...

a Me & The rest of the Dorris Clan trip!

Don't get me wrong my family is a hoot but the trip wasn't what I expected it to be. Mom and I were supposed to go look for apartments. That didn't happen thanks to the rest of the family! :) Instead of looking for apartments we went to the

The Memphis Zoo,

Mud Island,

Beale Street, and


Tom Lee Park!

While we were at the zoo we saw...

a Polar Bear










a Zebra

Mud Island

The End of the Mighty Mississippi

The young learning from her elder

My Lovely Sister

We at at the Blues City Cafe

Wonderful Apple Pie!!!!!!

Saw a few interesting signs while we ate!

This Policeman was handing out autographs. I guess the girls thought he was on the show "Memphis Beat"!

The Fountain

The Peabody Duck

The gate of Graceland!

By the end of the day we were all tired!

Over all it was a great trip! Maybe one day I will get my Me and Mommy trip to Memphis!
