The King Lives On!

We were in the tri-state area and we could easily visit three states here.  We visited two. We took another road trip.  This one was in in Memphis, Tennessee.   

We went to visit the first and only home that Elvis Presley purchased.  It is a small estate of 13 acres.  He paid $100,000. for it.

He had his office there, he played some music, he raised horses and played with toys.  He had everything.  They have a huge display of everything.

It's kind of fun to see his collections of car, boats and planes.

They also have on display his records and awards.

You can also eat his favorite, peanut butter and banana sandwich. We opted for pizza.

My favorite was seeing his stage costumes. Here is his last one.

 
His collection is pretty impressive, considering that he only did it for 22 years.


We also visited Corinth, MS for groceries and to pick up our rental car.  Found this quaint breakfast place.  Probably been here since the Civil War as other places in this area.

We also went to Shiloh,TN,  at the National Battlefield of the greatest civil war battle.  It was a somber experience.

We drove to Iuka, MS to pick up bread and wine.  Turns out they don't sell any liquor on Sunday.  Reminded me when we were younger.  Nothing was open except this grocery/hardware store.

On Monday, we went to Savanna, TN. We drove over the Pickwick Dam. Fun since we rode past on our boat a few days ago.  It was a different perspective.  We were able to stock up on wine and beer. The captain is happy since we are off tomorrow.

We are leaving the bible belt and for another three days on the hook.  We will be anchoring off the Tenn-Tom river on our 350 mile journey to Mobile, AL.
