So our last stop on our way home from Chicago was in Memphis to visit Graceland! We were surprised that it was in a pretty crappy part of town and that it was so much smaller than we expected, but it was really cool nonetheless. Again, Jackson wasn't too impressed. He slept through the whole tour! We told him "This was the home of the King of Rock and Roll, dude!" but he didn't care. He just wanted to sleep.
We, however, took our time checking everything out. We took lots of pictures. You can see those here. We expected to see lots of timeless antiques and what not but it ended up being the most gaudy 70's decor we've ever seen! It was like the whole house was stuck in a 1970's time warp! Typical Elvis, we suppose. TCB (Taking Care of Business), Elvis' motto, was plastered everywhere! So that became our motto on the road. We were TCB at the gas station, TCB at Chick-fil-a, TCB at Target, Jackson was TCB in his diaper....you get the picture! ;)
Anyway, Graceland was very cool and we had a great time! We made our way out of Memphis fairly early in the day and made it to Little Rock that evening. We tried to stop at the Clinton library but it was already closed. Oh well!
Until next time...
