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.
Nope
You can't go upstairs. Our tour guide said Elvis didn't even let people go upstairs unless they were super close friends. He felt that was the only place he had his privacy so, no one was allowed upstairs unless they were invited. Not even the staff at Graceland can go upstairs without permission from the family.
Living room
They told us that during the holidays everything in these rooms would change. They woud take out the sofas and take down the curtains and replace them with red versions.
Panoramic
The whole house.
Tour guide
Our tour guide is telling us a bit about the house while we wait for the group ahead of us to move on. You can see them inside the door.

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.
