Our third stop of the road trip was in Knoxville, TN. I won’t bore you with those details — we met up with a high school friend we hadn’t seen in forty years. Lots of fun catching up with each other’s lives.

Now to something you might find more interesting. Our stop in Memphis, TN. Where else? Graceland. We made reservations at the Guest House which is associated with Graceland. It opened about two years ago and Priscilla Presley oversaw all the décor used throughout the facility. I have to say it was the most spectacular hotel I’ve ever stayed in. Of course, we also took the tour of Graceland.

The evening entertainment was in the lobby of the Guest House. The band played 1960’s era music — not just Elvis songs, but a mix of several bands and individuals.

Replica staircase in Graceland. This replica is located inside the Guest House which is the hotel associated with Graceland. Décor was designed by Priscilla Presley.

What an opportunity to take a picture of this replica staircase! The original is located in Graceland itself which is tricky to photograph due to limited space.
