Graceland

My dad loved Elvis.

We took a family vacation down through Tennessee when I was little and visited Graceland. I don’t recall much from that part of the trip, but I do remember visiting Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Museum, mining for gold at Silver Dollar City (which would later become Dollywood) and Loretta Lynn’s Dude Ranch – where my dad picked up a cowboy hat and boots.

Funny, the things we remember.

So it was a pleasure to revisit this place, and curious to see this relatively quaint empire through my now adult eyes.

Next trip? We’ll squeeze in Dollywood.
