Once back on the road from Hot Springs, we drove to Memphis Tennessee. Home of The King. Ah....the King. And where another important King lost his life.
We arrived in Memphis in the afternoon in time to enjoy the heat advisory 96 degree heat. We drove past Beale Street (party street) and down to Graceland. Because neither Janet nor I are diehard Elvis fans, we opted to just grab some pics from the outside of Graceland. We also saw the Lisa Marie jet. We spent the night on Elvis Presley Blvd. And then-
The next morning we attended the internationally known (well maybe not...)Peabody Hotel Duck March. It was great! 5 ducks march from their home on the roof into the elevator, down to the lobby and across the red carpet and into the fountain in the middle of the lobby. They swim there until 5 pm when they march back into the elevators and up to their home again until the next day. It was a 5 star performance. I highly recommend it!
We then drove by the Lorraine Hotel to honor the place where Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968. It's a museum now. We then bid Tennessee goodbye and drove into Kentucky. I thought Kentucky was beautiful. Lots of things to see and places to camp. I would recommend Kentucky as a destination for a family vacation. We ended our day in eastern Kentucky, in Morehead KY, almost to the WV border. A scenic little hamlet tucked into the Kentucky hills, it has a little of everything, even a college-Morehead State University.
I didn't include any pics tonight because the little motel where we are staying the night doesn't have a very good internet connection. I'll post more this weekend. Love!
