Today is Easter Sunday. We left our RV at Tishomingo State park Mississippi. We drove 2 hrs to Memphis. We arrived at Graceland on Elvis Presley Boulevard. The parking fee is $10. Then we walked inside. Paid $40 each for the tour. 10%discount for Norm's law enforcement id. We collected our ipad and headphones and boarded a bus to take us across the street to the front door. We entered, it felt like a wake. The decor is as it was when Elvis died. 1970's furniture, tv, and appliances. It didn't seem as ostentatious as he could have afforded. We went to the jungle room with time period green shag carpet. The upstairs is closed to the public. It felt like a history lesson. I wish my dad was with us. We finished up the tour in the meditation garden where Elvis, his mother and father and grandmother are buried. We had lunch at the grille restaurant. We sat in a Cadillac shaped booth. We did a little shopping before heading home.
