Ok so we're in Graceland Memphis home of the biggest man in Rock n' Roll; Mr. Elvis Presley. We went on a tour of the house, and it was amazing. You started at a bus station with 2 restaurants, 3 tiny museums,and 3 gift shops. Then you took a shuttle bus to the house and they gave us all audio tours to listen to. We walked through the living room, dining room, kitchen, yard, racket ball room, and another tiny museum full of his clothes, records, and tv's showing all his television debuts; it even showed his and his wife's Percilla's wedding outfits. Outside the house in the garden was the graves of Vernon Presley, his wife, Minnie Presley (the grama) and of course Elvis himself; there was even a little plaque commemorating Elvis's stillborn twin brother Jessie. Afterwards we went to get something to eat at one of the restaurants, and we chose the one which had a 60d's theme, and on the menu there was a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. (apparently a Elvis favorite) before we left we took a short tour of Elvis's plane the Lisa Marie (named after his only child/daughter) the plane cost him $20,000 but all of his alterations to it cost him $80,000. One of the times of when he used it was when he realized his daughter had never seen snow so the family hoped on board and flew to Clorado; Lisa Marie played in the snow for a little while then they hoped on NORAD again and headed home. Well that's all for now, Thank ya uh Thank ya very much. Btw Elvis's signature logo was TCB, which stands for Taking Care of Business, then it had a  under it.

  1. Sorry his plane cost him $200,000 not $20,000, and his alterations cost him $800,000 not $80,000.
