Touring Graceland ~ on the road to Little Road

Day 7 ~ Memphis to Little Rock ~ January 26, 2011

We had a great evening catching up on emails and listening to country music.  Yesterday I talked to my very best old friend Barb and we made plans to head to The Aubuchon's this weekend in Houston, Texas.  We hope to see Danny's cousin Toni also; need to get an email/call out to her and Mark.  Then somewhere to put our "toes in the water and ass in the sand" in Galveston... for you non country music fans, click here:( http://s0.ilike.com/play#Zac+Brown+Band:Toes:1855779:m19843119 )  We plan to break out "the cheap blender and Jesus sandals" for a few days.  We will be heading to Venice/Tampa by Feb. 14th to visit Dozer, Mom & Dad.  Father/Son weekend planned for Feb 16-18th in Tampa with the Garavaglia's Tommy and Mike!

Below are some pictures from today.  We were both surprise how much we enjoyed the Graceland tour.  The audio tour was very well done and the exhibits were so fun to see.  The airplane; "Lisa Marie" was pretty amazing (24 karat gold seat belts and sinks).  We have never seen so many stores in such a small area only selling things with "elvis" somewhere; pictures, his signature, initials, everything you could think of.

We had a quick lunch and headed out to Little Rock for a short overnight stay at this scenic downtown river RV park. 

Hope you are all warm and safe, love you all!
