Memphis, Tennessee was one of our stops along our Spring Break Getaway. When in Memphis of course you have to visit Graceland and eat BBQ.
Graceland Mansion
Reception Room
Madelyn listened very intently to the Audio Guide
Music room in the basement
Pool table room
The racquetball court turned into a memorabilia room
The outfits Elvis was suppose to wear the night he died.
Presley family cemetery
Michael and his cars
We saw lots of older pictures of Elvis while touring the museum. So now every time Madelyn sees an older picture of a gentleman she thinks its Elvis. Yes we did see Elvis several places in Memphis--he even served us breakfast. Its a rumor, Elvis is actually alive.
My favorite--pink Cadillac
The Lisa Marie--Elvis's private 727 plane
The Memphis Queen took us on a river boat cruise on the Mississippi River. It was FREEZING cold along the river!!!!! Mudd Island is in the background, but was not open yet. It was in the movie The Firm.
On the boat docks
The Peabody Hotel has real ducks that live in their fountains. Everyday at 11 and 5 the ducks come down the elevator from their pent house suite for the breakfast/dinner and a swim in the lobby fountain. Don't you just love Madelyn's fake smile....
We ate la traditional Memphis BBQ lunch on Beale street at the City Cafe--yummy! I have to say that coleslaw on top of the BBQ sand which was pretty good.

After we left Graceland, Madelyn recapped her visit to my mom by saying, "We went to the King's house, but he wasn't home. I kept looking for the Queen and I couldn't find her and I saw lots of Poop." Yep that's right she spends the day in Graceland and all she can remember is seeing lots of Poop. The horse stables are on the back of the property and because it was too cold for the horses to be out, she was upset that she could see their poop, but not the actual horses.
