I've been told, this is the last one ever; enjoy it...

:(

Memphis, Graceland, Ole Miss, Beale Street, The Peabody, etc.

Our trip was fantastic! If you ever get to that area of the country, you must see Graceland! It's as cheesy as I thought it would be, and then some! No, honestly, it was something to see. The man was a phenom. Not only was he bigger than life and his talent awesome, he was a wonderful philanthropist. I was blown away by his generosity. He loved to give to the local organizations and did so every single year. I was awestruck while walking through his home, and then on the grounds, but the chills and a tiny tear came while walking through the Award Room. It was mind blowing the amount of awards he received throughout his lifetime. I was captivated by it, and could have spent the entire time, reading about the awards. Gold records everywhere you looked. The planes also blew me away, as well as his cars. I think there were about 10 luxury cars and a bunch of motorcycles. Priscilla even returned the car that Elvis bought for her - a cute little black Mercedes sports coup, to the collection. Why do you think someone needed gold-plated seat belts, and gold-plated sinks? I know, I know.... 'cause he could. Go to Graceland; you won't be sorry.

Our trip was jammed packed: we ate at Elvis' fav. rib joint, The Rendezvous, we toured Beale Street, The Peabody, and we drove 3 hrs south to the Mississippi River, to a small town called Natchez, Miss. We toured old southern mansions, you know, like in Gone with the Wind, and drank a Mint Julep (yuk). Ate real southern fried chicken, and frozen fruit; baked beans are served with every meal - it was quite an experience. The Southern folk really know how to live and better yet, know how to eat and drink.

Elvis-Bound

Those who know me know that I love the King...Elvis that is! Next week, I'm going with Joe on a business trip to Memphis, and we'll be touring Graceland. Can you imagine all the cheesy things in the souvenir shop there? I just can't imagine all the corny things I'll see, and can't wait! I'll be sure to blog! We plan to do Beale Street, and tour the Peabody Hotel; I'll take lots of photos! How cute is he?????????

AND ONE PUPPY-ATHLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!
