Day 7 - Memphis, TN

We drove to Memphis on Tuesday and immediately did a tour of Graceland. Trey and I have both seen it before when we were much younger, but we did not remember it and they have added quite a lot to it!



This plane was crazy - the bright colors and the setups were hilarious!


The plastic was in place so no grummy fingers touched the furniture. I am sure many people were tempted - but no one broke the rules during our tour - ha!

This is Trey outside of the Elvis Car Museum.


Isnt this purple car a classic?! It was very pretty...

But NOTHING compares to this PINK old car! Ohhh I wanted to run up and jump in to take a pic, but the Security would have not-so-nicely escorted me out. Boo.

Front of Graceland...





Pretty horses were grazing during our tour

Can you imagine hanging out in a room decorated like this with fabric covering the walls and ceiling?? Whoa!


We stayed at the Hampton Inn basically on Beale Street - you walk out the front door that there you are, a few steps! We ate at Dyers for dinner - it was sooo yummy! Apparently, this restaurant has used the same grease since it opened in 1912! This is from their website: "This famous grease , strained daily, has continued to produce juicy Dyer's Burgers for almost a century now." Okay - so if you don't think about how OLD the grease is, it is fantastic! ;)



After Dyers we walked around on Beale Street for a while and then stopped at a Daiquiri placed that housed at least 10-15 frozen machines. They were good - but STRONG! I ordered a Pina Colada for my first drink and it nearly knocked me over - whew.
Here are our puckering faces - ha!
Then I ordered a Chocolate daiquiri and it was delish!!
