Memphis - The Home of Elvis! With Netty & Colin

  Memphis - The Home of Elvis!  

Stepping into Elvis' Mansion in Graceland made us feel like super stars!

We entered into the foyer which was where special guests would await for Elvis to greet them. At one end of the living room there was the piano where he would have spent many hours playing.

We stepped inside Elvis' racquetball building which displays some of his iconic jumpsuits and an impressive display of Elvis' posthumously received awards.

At the Elvis Presley Automobile Museum displays we saw some of Elvis' favorite cars. Elvis also purchased a 1958 Convair 880 and named it Lisa Marie after his daughter. 

The final stop on the tour of Graceland Mansion was the Meditation Garden, where Elvis and members of his family have been laid to rest. 

During our stay we also visited the Memphis Hall of Fame where we learnt more about all
the great musicians that started in this famous city. There are 47 musicians
inducted into the Hall of Fame, including Al Green, Isaac Hayes, Justin
Timberlake etc. 

Another day we boarded the Island Queen for a tour of the Mississippi. Whilst cruising we had commentary of the history of the river and Memphis. 

In the evening we visited the famous Beale Street and enjoyed evening of live blues, jazz & rock n roll!!!
