Kevin and Steve decided to take a long road trip to visit family for the fourth of July. Kevin came through to pick up Steve and decided to spend a day in Memphis.
It was so good to see Kevin and Chasqui! Chasqui seemed like a totally different dog. It was so fun to see him and Helo play together.
Trying to take the boys for a walk. They were both pretty distracted by each other.
We decided to go to Graceland the next day. We talked about it right before we went to bed. That night I had dreams about John Stamos. Once we got to Graceland, I realized it was because he is a huge Elvis fan! Sure enough, there was a signed picture of him there!
Us with the King!
Getting ready for the tour!
Graceland is seriously beautiful. The inside of the house is a tad on the eccentric side, but it is a beautiful house and property.
Elvis's parent's room
Upstairs. Where Elvis lives. :)
Crazy that this was considered a high tech kitchen!
His basement room. Notice the mirrors on the ceilings, and three TVs? Elvis heard the president watched three TVs to watch the news at the same time. So Elvis wanted the same thing.
Jungle room! Carpet everywhere!
Even an indoor waterfall!
Carpet on the ceilings
The backside of Graceland
Elvis's office
Simple, little swing set.
Out by the horse stables
Beautiful house
Records, records records!
Elvis and Priscilla's wedding attire!
Baby clothes
Pretty nice swimming pool
Elvis's racquetball clubhouse
His clothes were incredible!
Memorial garden where Elvis is buried.

We also got to see Elvis's plane! Have I mentioned how hot it was that day?? It was miserable. Probably the hottest day we have experienced in Memphis. And the planes were not air conditioned, so it was a fast tour.
Bathroom on the plane
Taking Care of Business!
His smaller jet. You could not pay me enough money to fly in a plane that small!
Tiny, personal jet
We also went to his car museum.
Pink Cadillac!
We had a great time at Graceland. I learned so much about Elvis!
After Graceland, we took Chasqui to the dog park. It was so hard leaving Helo at home! But he still hadn't had all his shots.
Isn't he so handsome??
Look how much he has changed since being a puppy! Such a big boy.
The next day Steve and Kevin left me and Helo for a week and a half. They had a fun trip out West, and I had fun home alone with Helo.
