So Memphis isn’t really on the way to Dallas, but

September 29, 2009 by jcollins.

It cost us about 100 extra miles to drive through Memphis and Little Rock instead of going through Oklahoma, but we thought it was worth it. We went straight back to the RV park on Elvis Presley Blvd. Since we have been running so fast the last few weeks, we haven’t sent out any post cards, so we decided to walk over to one of the souvenir shops and pick some up. This time we picked out some with recipe’s from Graceland on them.

As we left the store, we decided to walk by Graceland at night and visit the Heartbreak Hotel across the street. This stuff is so tacky it’s funny. We sat in the bar and watched the 1968 Elvis Comeback television special on the big screen with a handful of other guests, as we ate Elvis’s favorite sandwiches, peanut butter and banana grilled sandwiches. I have to admit, they were pretty good. Of course I can see why he started adding on pounds quickly.

Monday was a day of catching up; laundry, business, school, etc.
