Graceland
We arrived at Graceland….there is a like a holding bay section where there are shops and places to eat and then you have to get in a little bus to head over to Graceland.
As always I lead with my stomach…..so I was determined to get food first, I went into this 50s style diner and had a burger (I know get on me) but was made up they had Gluten Free buns….but the wait was a joke and I literally had to inhale my food to be able to get onto the tour at the time I was meant too….which didn't do me any favours later on in the afternoon, but I dont think this blog is for talking about my toilet habits is it? And if you really wanna know message me haha
Arriving at Graceland is a bit like arriving at the White House….its not as big and grand as you expect but still beautiful. We then went inside, now we got a personal guide to help us go round, now whenever Ive done something like this before its like a small walkman and headphones, I kid you not this was a full on I-Pad and headphones…..but worn like a cross body bag, you really cant make this stuff up can ya!??
Anyways - inside I go….and WOW - you need to see the pics to understand and Im not going to describe every room - Im not an estate agent but the pics will give you a better picture (obv) but some of the decor in the rooms was unreal - like the animal room had a green shag pile carpet on the ceiling as well as the floor - imagine!!! its very grand but old world as well, but back in the day it would of been modern and classy. It was great to look round all the rooms and learn a bit more about Elvis and his life……but when you walked towards his grave in the meditation garden, as you approach it on the headphones he starts to sing "Youll never walk alone" - talk about pulling at heart strings…..this trip is making me an emotional wreck - but obv in a good way, making memories and having time to think an reflect! The inside and grounds of Graceland are something else, it was fabulous to be able to visit it and see it all….Graceland is definitely a must see by people, I mean ya cant go to Memphis and not see it can ya?
OH and I stuck to my word (video to follow) this years Burpee Challenge was outside Graceland - mission complete - over and out - "thank you very much" < get the pun???
Anyways Jen has left the building - onto Memphis we go!!!
