Keli travels Memphis part 36 May 2015

As we continued to tour Graceland, we saw things like.... walls and walls and walls of records in some of the outbuildings.. these records were where Elvis had a raquetball court I guess they thought that the space could be used more wisely by putting up walls of records..

after that We were instructed to walk over to the cemetery..

 fountain by the graves..

 He is actually buried inTupelo but they have this there to remind everyone that Elvis had a twin brother and he passed at birth...

 The grave of Elvis' mother. 

 the grave of Elvis' grandma.. she outlived everyone in the cemetery..

 THE GRAVE OF ELVIS !!!!!!!!!

 the grave of Elvis' father.

after the graveyard our tour of Graceland its self was over.  We then had to wait for the shuttle bus to take us back over across the street. 

 I got this picture of the house. 

 me in front of Graceland. 

 me sitting outside of the front of the building. ..

 that is my ticket.... all the stuff that $45 gets you..

 We then went to this exhibit across the street..

 where I coult take a selfie with Elvis..

 that is a suit he wore...

 I thought this was cool...

 so was this wall ... like the evolution of Elvis...

 cool...

 all the stuff you can see inTupelo I wish we had gotten a chance to go but this just means that I can go back another time :)

MORE OF GRACELAND!!!!! 

 fan art... in one of the outbuildings..I need a portrait painted of me like this. 

 Elvis pool...

 John Stamos did not have much to say about the pool..I wonder why..

 This is one of Elvis outbuildings. I guess the Memphis Mafia would hang out here. 

 Elvis played this piano RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED... it is basically one of the last things that he did before he died..

 The Memphis Mafia sat around and watched Elvis play the piano. 

another view of that room. 

 When Elvis got up from playing that piano.. and went into his house...

Elvis left the building...

I forgot to put some of the pictures of the inside of Graceland in the last post.

 like these amazing stairs...

and this monkey 

 I asked if it comes alive at night... They said no.. I later heard from a staff member that Lisa Marie's twins Harper and Finley broke this because when Pricillia and Lisa Marie come they have full access to the house. 

They told the twins " Papa Elvis is gonna be mad at you" ..................................

Now the staff has to turn it so you can't see the crack because people kept on asking.. did Elvis break that?? like nope Harper and Finley broke that..

 then we went outside...this is the back of Graceland..

backyard at Graceland.. Where the Memphis Mafia would ride around on golf carts and stuff..

 Lisa Marie Presley's play ground!!!! I had one just like it if not the same!!! ( probably everyone did)

 close-up of Lisa Marie's playground.

 Vernon Presley, Elvis' dad's office.. it was another building not attatched to Graceland but on the property.. You see a lot of fan art that was sent to Elvis and such..

 I read a book once written by Elvis' secratary this is most likely where she sat.She talked in the book about how she got TONS of stuff from fans.. stuff like you see here..

 from when Elvis used a shed on the property for target practice..

 then we started going through exhibits.. Some of the outbuildings were made into exhibit rooms..

 that is Elvis..

 Elvis toys and other  memorabilia    that they had on sale in the 50s..

 Elvis guitar

 10 thousand Elvis fans can not be wrong...

 Elvis awards

awards

 wall of records going this way...wall of records going that way...

 I bet my mom has seen this movie and just loved it and would totally watch it again if it came on..

 ELVIS ARMY OUTFIT...

 Elvis wore this during the 1968 comeback special!!!!!!!!!

 Elvis wore this .. no idea when or where but he wore this..

 baby Lisa Marie's stuff...
