Memphis, 3/4/13

Graceland ...... What a fun place to explore for the day. We explored Elvis Presley's mansion, his cars, his planes and even his clothes. What a life he had. We both didn't realize that he and his parents and grandmother are buried on the property. His father got permission from the city to move his body for security reasons. His house was displayed how it was when he died, shaggy carpets and everything. What were people thinking back then. His cars were even cooler. After Graceland we drove into downtown Memphis where we took a tour of the Memphis Fire museum. We got to be kids for an hour. They had pretty much every toy fire truck possible on display.

We finally got on the road and ran into windshield wiper problems. Wouldn't had been an issue but it was raining. Every time we tied to use high speed we blew a fuse. We fixed the problem temperarly and got on our way to Florida to see family and finally get a shower (it's been 5 days) .... It's time to do laundry too :)
