Day 15 - Graceland!

We didn't have to wake up to early the next morning as we were only a 20 minute drive out of Memphis and Graceland didn't open until about 9am... Once we had arrived we went into the shop to pick up our premium VIP tickets (Only the best, considering it was for the King!). These tickets took us for a tour around Elvis' home, his trophy room and grave site, through his car museum which had all off his favourite cars and toys in it, and then through his aircraft hangar, where we got to walk through the Lisa Marie Convair 880 Jet! That was pretty awesome, it was decked out to the max! As was everything else he owned haha..

We didn't finish up checking out Graceland until about 12, and just as we were about to leave, we decided that we would pay tribute to the King himself in the only way we know how... MORPH UP! We got some interesting looks (as usual) while we were walking up to the Graceland sign and the onlookers were only too keen to help us take photos haha! (We also happened to see a Memphis Police car that was unattended whilst we were in our Morphsuits... I'm sure you will be able to figure out the rest haha!)

It was back on the road again, as we had to drive all the way from Memphis to Nashville! (about 250 Miles!) We skipped lunch that day and survived of the leftovers that we had in the fridge (as well as a steady liquid diet) and ended up arriving at a little town just outside of Nashville called Manchester... Feeling too tired to cook and in need of some hearty red meat, we went down to a pub/restaurant called O'Charleys... It was most probably the best steak I have had since arriving in the US! We stayed back for a few beers and a friendly chat with some of the bartenders and decided it was time to call it a night when they started packing the chairs and tables up around us...


Next stop... Lynchburg, Tennessee
