Hi everyone!


Today we went to Graceland!


It all started with a tour around Elvis' Mansion where you get to have an audio tour if you want it. And guess who does the ENG voice? That's right! My dearest friend and Elvis lover: JOHN STAMOSšŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜

It was sooooo great to hear his voice during the entire touršŸ˜‰

It was pretty cool to walk around in the house where the King of Rock & Roll used to live in!



I also loved to see how they lived and see all the family pictures, both of his parents but also pictures of Pricilla and Lisa Marie when she was little. We even saw her baby room and old furniture.


It became really emotional when we went into his meditation garden where he and his entire family is buried. Even Lisa Marie and her son are buried there next to each other...


That was the end of the audio tour. The rest of Graceland is self-exploring.

First thing we did was going to Presley Motors Automobile Museum where all of his vehicles are shown. He sure had a LOT of cars and motorcycles!


Then we saw the exhibition about his time in the Army. I personally didn't even know he was in the army (even if it was for only 2 years) so it nice to see some personal pictures of his time and even see his uniforms and medals he earned.


After the Army section was a huge exhibition of everyone who was inspired by Elvis and I just knew my friend John had to be in there as well. He impersonated Elvis a lot in Full House and he even named his character Jesse in honor of Elvis' stillborn twin brother who was born 35 minutes before Elvis.

Seeing John's section, with set props from Full House really moved me and even made me proud of John himself because I know how much he idolizes Elvis and how honored he is to be amongst all the other Icons.


After that was his collection of the movies he did and his personal collection of guitars, outfits, jewelry and more.


Last exhibition was all about Lisa Marie and her growing up with her famous father Elvis Presley.


Then we went outside where air Presley was located: his own two planes!

It was so cool to go inside the Lisa Marie and the other plane and see how he had decorated them to travel in.


Then Domi left the building!


I have always loved his music but I really enjoyed learning and seeing all of Elvis' life and touring around his house and his entire estate.


See ya'll tomorrow!
