We’re staying at the Graceland RV
Park very handy for all of Memphis and with a weekly rate it’s $30 a night, so
quite affordable.
We met Dieter and Christel from Germany at the campground.
Yes there IS a Heartbreak Hotel
Graceland is
a big item on my personal Bucket List. I wasn’t a huge Elvis fan when I was a
kid, I was too young when he rose to fame. My sister Beryl was and I think
still is an Elvis fan, she’s jealous that we’ve made it here and she hasn’t.
Graceland
The TV room
Elvis's pink Cadillac
Memphis has
far more than just Elvis however. The Blues, Sun Records, The
Lorraine Motel/Civil Rights Museum, Beale Street, Memphis Barbecue, The
Mississippi River. The list goes on and on.
The Bass Pro pyramid store
This one has it's own hotel and TWO restaurants.
Our task is
to see as much as we can!
Home of the blues
And the bar with the most craft beers!
Lots of places for ribs, music and booze.
Our friends Karen and Paul told about the best ribs in Memphis
Down a back alley in a basement
They don't advertise, they have no need too!
Dry rub ribs
Oh yummy
Lovingly prepared.
The Memphis Red Birds AAA Baseball
Da Bird!
We’ve been
drifting for the last couple of months. No set places to be or dates to meet.
That’s beginning to change. Our Daughter Sally is definitely coming to Maryland
in mid June. Barbara’s cousins in Ontario Canada are arranging a family get together
at the end of June. The Escapees Rally in Vermont is at the end of July and we
have definite reservations made for the winter in Florida with our friends Harold and Wanda.
Some careful
planning has to be done for Memorial Day weekend and the July 4th
weekend in the US plus Canada Day July 1st as campgrounds fill up
early for the long weekends.
We’ve suddenly gone planning crazy!!
