What happens in the Jungle Room, stays in the Jungle Room!

Today we spent the afternoon at Graceland! It wasn't on the original itinerary, but we couldn't resist. We got the full flavor and did the deluxe tour, which included his airplanes and cars. Elvis bought Graceland when he was 22. Elvis loved to have people around him and the house and grounds were always full of guests. He loved to have fun and had a bunch of "toy" vehicles to ride around his property on. At first, the kids had no clue who Elvis was. But after the tour, which included audio headset narration, they were singing his songs and Ryan had the leg shake going. It was a lot of fun and very interesting. I never knew Elvis had a twin brother who died at birth. Did you? We were very impressed with the King, he was a very generous person and a great man.
