Memphis

Hi all
We've been staying kind of put.
Got here on Wednesday, groceries (small fridge, shop often) on Thursday and Friday to Graceland.














Graceland is a whole day to see it all, and we did.
The mansion was great and the grounds sure made it feel comfortable.


And the "Jungle Room"


Can see why Elvis loved it so much.
The grounds had it all, a pool, horses and room to roam.
Elvis and his folks are buried on site.


After the mansion it was over to the museum and room after room of Elvis memorabilia.
Take your pick, cars


fashion and motorcycles

and many rooms of music, motion pictures and more.
and a whole room of Elvis in the Army.
And of course his famous Pink Cadillac

Then outside to see his airplanes.

Wow, were we ever tired when we got home.
It was worth the time invested and got to know so much, not only about Elvis the star, but Elvis the boy and his family who was with him throughout his life. It was sure portrayed that he was family oriented and provided for them. I was surprised that it was actually his parents, along with Elvis, that bought Graceland.

Great day and good night watching some Olympics.
Slept great.
Today we are getting laundry done and other household projects done.
Packing up to leave for Nashville tomorrow and I am beginning to feel better, dang colds.

Make your day great
Tom and Millie
