Yes, We Had to Go to Graceland - Home of Elvis Presley

Every time we said our next destination was Memphis, Tennessee, we were asked if we were going to Graceland. Of course, we said yes. One of my good friends, Donaray, was the President of the Elvis Fan Club in my home town, Enumclaw.




The Living Room

The Formal Dining Room

The Kitchen that was manned 24 hours a day
That was because there were people there 24 hours a day.
The Jungle Room

The Pool Room

The Television Room

This is part of the Trophy Room (actually a fairly large building)
When we came to this room we were astounded by all the gold and plantium records there!
The Racquetball Room (Building)

Which now houses even more awards!!! And, costumes.
At the Automobile Museum you can see Priscilla's 1970 Sport Mercedes
As well as the Pink Cadillac Elvis gave to his mother and fondly called Gladys' Car.


In another museum - "Sincerely Elvis" you can see mementos from his movies.





Also you can see Elvis's two jets in the Lisa Marie's Jet Tour
For the first time ever I ran out of space on
my 1 gigabyte photo memory card
so I could not get the second, smaller jet.

At the Graceland Mansion you will find Elvis' grave
