Friday was full of events for the families! We were offered the choice to go to the Memphis Zoo, which I've heard is spectacular, and sadly, we all declined because of how cold the weather was! It gave the girls and I a chance to sleep in on Friday morning, and we headed to Incredible Pizza for lunch.
I only had these two pictures taken while we were there.... I didn't imagine how big Incredible Pizza would be and all of the activities there were to do! We were given a private room and all the pizza and food we could eat, and generously given a 90 minute card of free play.
I remember going to game places as a kid, putting in coins, and anxiously awaiting for the tickets to spew out of the machine. But, with the card, all we did was swipe and after the game was finished, the card would memorize the amount of tickets you had won!
There was also a little kids area, which was a bit more appropriate for G and MC. They both loved the merry-go-round, and I let G ride in this little car first and MC was dying to have a turn. She loved it! In fact, she did not want to get off and cried when the ride came to an end!
We had a lot of fun on our lunch trip, and afterwards, we headed back to the hotel to pick up players and then we were off to Graceland!
I have been to Memphis several times, but never to Graceland, and even though I knew the girls needed naps, I selfishly decided to postpone them so we could visit the King's castle. I was trying to explain to G who Elvis was, and told him he was the king of rock-and-roll. She became very fascinated that we were going to a king's house and asked if the Queen would be there and if there was a princess.
The girls had fun riding together on the bus.
I wore MC in the sling, and G walked and listened to the audio-play headphones that gave you history of the house and of Elvis. I decided to forego the headphones, knowing MC would just pull them off. You also weren't allowed to take flash photographs, so my pictures turned out horribly. I think this is the best I got!
At Christmas, they hang red drapes in his house, although the rest of the year, the drapes are blue.
We toured the living room.
And then, his parents bedroom on the first floor, the dining room, kitchen, downstairs bar, and then the 'jungle room'. Finally, we went outside and saw Lisa Marie's swingset, and then went into an office, and then on to a trophy room, where many of his gold records are displayed, as well as costumes, clothes from movies, and Elvis' and his Priscilla's wedding clothes.
We saw his grave, but it was raining by then, and I was just cold and knew the girls were miserable, and I could not wait to get back across the street!
When we finally did, we went to tour the rock-and-roll museum, as well as the car museum.
Finally, we went to see his airplanes.
It was such a rainy afternoon, but we really did enjoy ourselves. The girls both fell asleep on the bus ride back to the hotel and afterwards DJ and I took them to Corky's for dinner while the team went to a rodeo.
