We got up and head out to what Haylee refers to as "Elvis' house" AKA- Graceland.
Our first stop....the Lisa Marie
Elvis always sat in the green chair.
Next stop...
Next... his awesome cars
His toys...
His favorite car... he gave it to his mother..
Next stop....Graceland
His parents' bedroom
We weren't allowed to go upstairs.
The dining room
Kitchen
Jungle Room
I am just going to call this the yellow room...
The pool room...
The piano he played the morning he died.
His racquetball room has been turned into this....
RIP...
A headstone for his twin brother. He is actually buried in Mississippi.
His Mom
His Dad
His Grandmother..
THE KING
Then we rushed to the Peabody Hotel to see the famous ducks.
Rolling out the red carpet. They walk down it and get into the elevator to the top floor for the night.
Here they go.....
Then we tried some Memphis BBQ. It is very different tasting that what we get in Texas.
We let the crowds clear from the Peabody so that we could see the ducks in their home for the night.
After driving for over 3,000 miles and 15 days in the car with 2 kids, we have safely made it home with lots of great memories. Thanks to all of you who followed us on this journey. We had an awesome trip.
What is the story with the ducks? Why do they get the red carpet treatment?
ReplyDeleteI am so amazed by this vacation. It is something that you will remember forever. I hope we can do it one day. :)
Thanks for sharing.
Have loved reading about your trip! Cannot believe your kids did so well with so much time in the car. Would love to do something like that some day.
