Mom's dream come true. . .Graceland!

Janetta rocking out with the original microphone used by Elvis and Johnny Cash as they recorded in the Sun Recording studio.


Outside of Sun Recording studio in downtown Memphis.


There was a resturant that came to pick you up in a pink Cadillac limosine, so obviously we had to go there! Although the food wasn't top notch, the ride made all the difference!


Graceland Mansion which Elvis bought at age 22 for $100,000.

Elvis' personal jet named after his daughter, very posh inside.




The shirt Elvis wore in the movie "Jail House Rock" is in the Hard Rock Cafe in Memphis.



My mom loves Elvis so for her 60th birthday we went with her to Graceland to pay our tributes to the King. We had a lot of fun touring his mansion and learning about his life and career in music. We also visited the National Civil Rights Museum built at the hotel location where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in Memphis. We had a great time and baby Langton was the only boy allowed :) Happy Birthday Mom!!
