Memphis

This morning we got to go to Graceland!! Was great to walk around Elvis's house!! Unfortunately we didn't get to go upstairs to his room, but we did walk around the bottom part of the house. We got to see all his awards that he won and most of his costumes that he wore. At the end of the tour we got to see where he was buried, which we didn't expect!! The house wasn't as big as we thought it would be, but it was beautiful to see all the original furnishings. On the way back to town we stopped off at Sun Studios, that is where Elvis and Johnny Cash first recorded their song. After we finished there we went to the Rock N Soul Musuem, which was interesting all though we didn't know who anyone was besides Johnny Cash and Elvis. We went back to the hotel for a bit of rest because it was so hot. This evening we were lucky enough to go see a baseball game wasn't a major league game but it was great fun anyway. We had our own little private section where food was catered. Tonight we are heading to bed early as we have another big day on the road tomorrow.
