Tennesee, Tennesee

We spent quite a bit of time in Memphis this morning which was nice. Graceland was pretty awesome. I learned a lot about Elvis that I didn't know before and walking through his actual house and seeing everything was interesting. The house was all decorated for christmas which made it look absolutely gorgeous. He had bought the graceland property in 1957 (I think) when he was 22 for 100,000 dollars!! That's completely insane considering today it would be like 7 million dollars or something!! The trophy room of the house was also crazy!! Man did he win lots of awards and do so many things!! Well needless to say it was pretty cool.

After graceland we went to the famous beale st and got some good ole southern food at the blues city cafe!! The ribs and chicken were very tasty!! Beale st was pretty cool, very quiet though. Although I guess it was the middle of a work day!! It seemed like it would be a great place to party which I'll have to do next time I'm in memphis!!

Now we're on the road hoping to get to somewhere in Virgina tonight!! We're listening to some dane cook which is always fun :)

So I guess that's the update for today. Hope everyone is having a great day!

Love, lau

PS there were unfortunately no JT sightings in memphis (I know I'm a dork, hahahaha)
