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!

The pool

The next morning, time to check out. There were more people at the pool than I thought there would be. It was kinda cool.
Beale Street

Everyone told us we couldn't leave Memphis without going to Beale Street so, we headed that way for lunch before we left town.
History of Beale

Beale street dates back to before 1850!
Tater Red's

LOVE this sign! It was a cool store too.
Schwab's

The other reason we wanted to go to Beale street was because we wanted to check out Schwab's!
Tin Toys

Schwab's did not disappoint. OMG! Love the tin toys!
The store part

There were three stories. One floor had a Schwab museum with old photos and artifacts. Everything was very cool!
Blue ribbon sale

The photo shows a blue ribbon sale. I'm not sure what year. Its amazing that people are amassed outside the door!
Soda fountain

This side of Schwab's also had a ton of old candy that you don't see anymore. It was cool!
Exactly the same

We thought it was cool that after all these years it still looks exactly the same.
