Graceland Trip

This year is the 10th anniversary of Kris losing her Dad. Dad LOVED Elvis. He even had a pink Cadillac when he was in high school. We used to listen to listen to Elvis when we were little and watch all of his movies when they came on TV. We thought it would be nice to celebrate Dad's life by going to Graceland in style!
