A Visit To Graceland

Elvis Presley's (what would have been his) 75th birthday this week brings to mind my visit to Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee back in 2001.

I have relatives in Alabama and they took us on a tour of the region, which included Memphis.

Here's a few photos of that visit:

Above, visitors can tour the inside of Elvis's jet, the "Lisa Marie."
