Home of The King
Looking at the map and time open to us, Mississippi was the obvious next goal. Saw Tupelo on the map and that sounded familiar. Looked it up. Birthplace of Elvis Presley. Gotta go there obviously. Looking at map some more getting to Tupelo tales us very near Memphis. Graceland! I enjoy Elvis’ music but Graceland had never been a driving have to see for me. Very pleasantly surprised. The Graceland tour of the house and grounds is very well done. Very tasteful and informative. The tour is an audio tour that has an itinerary but you are free to move along at your own pace. The home and grounds are located across the street from the ticketing and touristy museum/gift shops/food stores areas. You are bussed over to Graceland in small groups to take the tour. As I said, I would not make this a have to do destination (others do) but if anywhere nearby it is definitely worth seeing. Glad we did it.
Picture yourself in this picture = for a price.
