Graceland

Have you been to Graceland?
The home that Elvis Presley purchased at freaking age 22 for a little over 100,000 buckaroonies?

It's pretty awesome.
It's pretty awesome if you're mom just met you in Jackson, TN and on a whim you both decide it's actually a good idea to take advantage of the truly unfortunate situation and learn a little bit about American Pop Culture.


Let me just say this: IT WAS AWESOME.

and not an understated awesome, at all--an IMPRESSIVE AWESOME.

Elvis Presley's home was IMPRESSIVELY AWESOME.



And let's be real, here: the fact that's it's been preserved for so long is just as great. Hello, 70s reality!

Fabric covered walls.


Amazing.


Can you do this in your home?


NO? I didn't think so. :)


And if you can....hands down, you are amazing. No doubt. Thank you for adding variety to the human race.


So happy to have made such a good trip.



It's the small things that really perk up a life, you know?





Any other roadside attractions I should know of? Have you ever hit up a cool one? Where shall we send me next? Let's be real, I take on the world. Let's DO it.
