Amazing trees
It was so pretty here, with the trees growing down the wall, I wish we could have stayed here longer.
Secret garden
We walked through a random arch and found this beautiful garden. Literally a secret garden. It was so peaceful and quiet.
Pretty
It was pretty with the green fields and open spaces.
Blonde horse
Came really close to us. I like it's pink shoes!
All three!
Our tour guide said she rarely sees all three hourses come close like this. They always keep a blonde horse (on the left) because that was Elvis' favorite.
Graceland stables
They still keep horses at Graceland. Priscilla and Lisa Marie still come and ride.
Back yard
The last time we came to Graceland was around 2003 and neither of us remember seeing the back yard at all. They made a lot of changes. We think this walk used to be enclosed.
Saturday morning
After breakfast we headed out for Graceland. We had "Ultimate VIP Tickets." Our tour started at 9:45. The shuttle left at 9:30. We were a bit early so we sat outside and waited to make it on the first shuttle out.
Pretty!
The flowers were too pretty not to take a picture.

Lots of green
We really expected at some point for there to be some desert but there wasn't. Even when there weren't crops, they had grass growing.
