Walkin' in Memphis

Recently, I got to take a trip to Memphis, Tennessee for work! Although I really did not have that much time to get to know the city, I loved what I got to see.

My co-worker and I got to take a tour of Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley and it was a blast! When I was little I used to LOVE Elvis. I used to dance around the room singing "In the Ghetto" and pretending like I as being stabbed. (Oops?) I also loved the classics "Ain't Nothin But a Hound Dog", "Jailhouse Rock", and "All Shook Up." 

Being at Graceland brought back those memories and how much I loved the King of Rock and Roll.

I thought I would re-create my small time in Memphis for you and give a glimpse inside the tour of Graceland. Spare yourself the $30 admission ticket and see for yourself! :)



My hotel- La Quinta treated me well!



Let's start the Graceland tour!! :)


His mansion!! :) (It's not exactly as big as I expected... but he's the King...)





The foyer

Elvis got three TV's because the president had three TV's too during this time (Tour Guide Info!)

There was a room completely dedicated to his awards: best singles, gold and platinum records, etc.

RIP Elvis...



Overall, an amazing tour! Memphis, thank you for my short time spent with you.
