The King

So today we saw............. "The King".


Lucas= a hunka hunka burning love


I= someone who cannot master the Elvis lip sneer.


What do you think? Is the second try better?


Ok ok, if you haven't caught on...today (before we drove out to Nashville) we headed to Graceland to see Elvis's Mansion.

Here's our first view.


Anyone care for dinner with the Presleys?

Ok, this is the downstairs, but... I have to wonder what's with the monkey?


Here's some quintessential Elvis garb!


And, did I forget to mention, Elvis has many gold records....
and by many, I mean TONS!
TONS!!!!!

R.I.P. King of Rock and Roll :(

Overall, after our tour of Graceland, I realized that on top of being one of the most famous individuals of his time, Elvis was a very generous musician although his 70s themed home is a tiny bit garish. (and by "tiny" I mean, WHOA!!! shag carpet on the ceilings!!)

Now, after a short (read three to four hours- we've been in the car a lot) drive, Lucas and I enjoyed a lovely dinner outside with his Uncle Matt and Aunt Zen. Tomorrow we will be spending the day soaking up Nashville, but until then, we need some rest. Lata, Adventure fans!

ok - a decisive return to the classic tourist travelogue!
Lucas definitely has the sneer; Michelle is definitely not Elvis, but maybe Priscilla.
Eagerly awaiting further details on Nashville, hoping you asked Matt for "Toast."

Michelle :( We'll teach you when you get back. Be safe and we'll see you soon. Say hello to Uncle Matt & Aunt Zen for us. Love, Dad & Mom
