Road Trip - Graceland

Graceland, Memphis, the land of all things Elvis. Except on Tuesdays, December through February, when Graceland is closed. We were still able to walk up to the mansion, but couldn't go inside. Elvis and his family are all buried on the property, including a stillborn twin brother. Imagine if his brother had lived. It boggles the mind. After walking around the property a bit, we looked through a handful of the 16 separate gift shops they have in the complex. Some items of interest: Velvet Elvis Paintings, the hip-shaking Elvis clock, and the Viva Las Vegas poker set featuring photos of Elvis on the Kings of the deck.
