Graceland was on my must see list for several years and I was not disappointed. I treated myself to a VIP tour ticket. Graceland, the legendary home of Elvis Presley, is a must-see for any music fan.
The mansion tour takes you through the iconic rooms where Elvis lived, including the famous Jungle Room with its green shag carpeting and Polynesian-inspired decor. The living room, kitchen, TV room, and the Meditation Garden, where Elvis and his family are laid to rest were all covered in the tour.
The mansion is not just a glimpse into Elvis’ personal life, but additionally a trip back in time to the 1970s. I really enjoyed a look into his eclectic tastes and style.
After a morning touring Graceland I went back across the street to the “Elvis Presley’s Memphis” complex, a 200,000-square-foot entertainment and exhibit space. Included in my VIP ticket was lunch at Vernon’s Smokehouse where I enjoyed a fabulous BBQ rib lunch.
