GRACELAND, MEMPHIS, TN


We toured Graceland yesterday afternoon. It was an audio tour which I really enjoy because you can really get some good information of what you are seeing as you tour. I am sure everyone has heard the house is quite small for today's standards but it is beautiful and has many rooms. The thing that really struck me was how comfortable it looks; a house you can see yourself living in. We were able to get photos inside the house. I had no idea the graves for Elvis and his family were located at Graceland - never really thought about it but it surprised me when my audio told me we were heading for his memorial and grave. Shook me up for a moment. Elvis purchased the home in 1957 for $100,000. Also, did you know he had a twin brother who died at birth?
