Keith took me to Memphis, TN, to see Graceland on Thursday as an early Birthday present. It was about a 3 hour drive and we took the "Platinum Tour" which took us about 4 hours. It was all I thought it would be and then some. It really took us back in time. Keith was very patient and took all of the pictures so I could enjoy the tour. I must admit, I am proud of him because originally he was going to sit and read a book while I did the tour but the night before he said he would tour with me. Thank you Keith. It was a wonderful Birthday present.
Following are some pictures of our tour:
Welcome to Graceland!
Lockheed Jet Star; Hound Dog II
Meditation Garden, one of Elvis' favorite places.
The grave sites of Elvis, his parents, his Grandmother, and his twin brother.
Entrance to the Automobile Museum.
CO's comments: I did enjoy seeing Elvis' old cars and his 2 airplanes; a Convair 880 and a Lockheed Jet Star. There is a guy in our marina that has a Baja-go fast, with 2; 500 hp engines. He has only been on the water about 3.5 days and has gone through over $1600.00 of fuel. By the end of the summer he might have to mortgage his home to pay for fuel.
Sounds like fun! Graceland is a place I've always wanted to visit myself.
