Cory is the "Queen of Finding Free Stuff to Do", and that is a really great thing for our Memphis bucket list. Her most recent discovery is the Crystal Shrine Grotto, which is actually a National Landmark. It seems extremely random, but it is in the center of a cemetery. A sculptor created it in the 1930s. It is a man made cavern that depicts different scenes from the life of Christ.
When Cory read me a description online, I thought, "Sure, why not? Let's check it out." I did not expect it to be as cool as it was. During our visit, Cory heard for the first time that I really like cave tours. I told her about going through the Mark Twain Caves in Missouri as a teenager and the Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana. Crystal Shrine Grotto was clearly man made, but it gave you the feeling of being in an underground cavern.
The cemetery was actually very nice. There were very few people around, so we let Emmy walk around some of the garden areas.
We ended the outing with some treats at the Whimsy Cookie Company, another local hot spot, or so we were told. Great cookies, and they had a coloring station, so Emmy took advantage.
