Today we got an early enough start to our day that we left Nashville and arrived in Memphis early enough that were able to tour Elvis Presley's Graceland. We also got to see the two jet planes that he had, his Automobile Museum, and 12 different Elvis gift shops. I really should have taken a picture of all the gifts in the shops, but it was too overwhelming. From where we are parked we can almost see the home from our RV spot.
So without further ado here are a few shots of Graceland.
Front of home
The famous Jungle Room (Elvis' favorite color was green, just like me, but his shade of green was a little too avocado. Then again, that was all the rage in the mid 60's)
A few of the snazzy jumpsuits
The Trophy Room with all of his awards and platinum and gold records, plus some guy shaking his hips.
The living room
Kitchen (check out the cast iron skillet ready to go)
Something I learned that I never knew before, was that Elvis donated quite a bit of money to help build the USS Arizona Memorial in Hawaii. Here is a plaque given to him to commemorate that generosity.
Tomorrow it's the Peabody and Beale Street, stay tuned for updates.
