Headed home
It was a really good trip.
Schwab's
The other reason we wanted to go to Beale street was because we wanted to check out Schwab's!
Tater Red's
LOVE this sign! It was a cool store too.
History of Beale
Beale street dates back to before 1850!
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.
Back to the casinos!
We decided to go back to Tunica that night. Just to the Gold Strike for a while.
Graceland yard
They told us Elvis' cousin still maintains the yard after all these years.
Crowded
You can see the other tour waiting to get in to the house, there were so many tours. We were there a week before the 40th anniversary of his death. 80,000 people showed up the anniversary week!
Graceland!
They took us in a shuttle across the street to Graceland. We watched a short movie that encompassed Elvis' career and then we started walking around to the front of the house.
WOW!
We've been to Graceland before. We took a self-guided tour. There used to be one building across the street with Elvis' cars and his airplanes were next door. This new complex just opened in time for the 40th anniversary and it is amazing!
Gold lamé jacket
The artwork in the room!
Dresser
I should have opened the drawer. The inside of the drawers were painted red to match the pillow on the bed.
Our room
We just got a regular room. Priscilla Presley decorated some of the large suites.
4th floor
Elvis was everywhere, of course. We stayed on the 4th floor. Each floor had a different outfit.
