We went to Memphis, Tennessee to visit Graceland (Elvis' home). Graceland is the third-most visited house in the United States (Websites: [] and [] and [] ). Once at Graceland, you take an audio tour of the main floor and basement. The bathroom where he died is on the second floor and is not available (along with the entire second floor) to visit. You do get to see his media room in the basement and the 'Jungle Room'. Other parts of the tour include a 'Trophy Room' and Elvis' gravesite. We felt that it was worth the visit. After our visit, we headed back into Memphis for dinner. Memphis has a wide and varied food scene. Here's a website: []for a variety of restaurants. Memphis is well-known for its barbecue. Here's three different barbecue restaurants featured on the Food Channel's "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives": Cozy Corner Restaurant (Website: [] ), Tom's Barbecue and Deli (Website: [] ), and Marlowe's Restaurant (Website: [] ). We had a great meal at Marlowe's. Afterwards, we headed to BB Kings for some music & late night drinks (Website: [] ). BB Kings is located on Beale Street, which has a lot of fun clubs to visit. Here's a website for Beale Street: []. The Beale Street Motto is "Home of the Blues...Birthplace of Rock and Roll". Here's a website for other tourist attractions in Memphis: []. We got our hotel through Hotwire. It was the Westin Memphis Beale Street, which made our evening enjoyable because we didn't need to drive or walk very far. A great locale gastro pub is South of Beale (on Main Street at Beale) (Website: [|www.southofbeale.com] ). They serve great food and yummy cocktails.
