Graceland


We made a stop at Graceland. Madeline was looking forward to “Elvis’s Mansion” as she called it. It was interesting and we are glad we did the tour. I don’t think we will be joining the annual pilgrimage, though. We did meet one such Elvis fan. I spoke with her briefly on the tour bus. She saw us later and stopped us to excitedly share some “news” she learned about the upstairs rooms of the home which are not part of the tour.
John was particularly interested in the car collection. The kids were able to tour their first airplane. We tried to tell them not to expect other planes to be the same. They don’t all have conference tables, sofas, nice bathrooms and a queen-sized bed. I did learn an interesting thing about Elvis that we share in common….a love for Diet Dr. Pepper.
