Today I went to Graceland. I am not a huge Elvis Fan but I thought since I'm in Memphis, I can do Graceland, and see where the King lived. So I paid $10 for parking, and $40 for a regular ticket go get in to Graceland. There were other tickets for $70 but I don't consider myself THAT big of a Fan. It seemed a bit much to spend, considering I can get into any one of the parks in Orlando for that amount of money. And what did I get for my $50? Well, not all that much, actually. I could see the first floor of Graceland, the second floor is off limits. I could see some of Elvis's costumes, the records that went gold, his backyard, his cars, and his gravesite. And lots and lots of gift shops! All in all, it was not worth spending all that money - but at the same time, it wasn't a big problem either. So, now I've seen Graceland, I don't ever have to go there again. It's one of those "live and learn" experiences. I did get some nice pictures and spent an afternoon in Memphis though.
Here is Graceland - not as big as I thought it would be.
