Road Trip

We went to Little Rock on our way to Memphis. We went to this really good Japanese restaurant where  a guy who was really funny made our dinner in front of us. When he put the oil on it made a big fire!

Then we left to Memphis where we went to Graceland. Graceland is where Elvis Presley lived. We saw Elvis' mansion, his cars and his private jets. Once, when he realised that his daughter Lisa hadn't seen snow before, he flew with her to Colorado to see the snow. She played there for an hour and then they flew home. There is a room in the mansion where you aren't allowed to go because Elvis wanted it to be kept private. My favourite room was the downstairs lounge room. It had mirrors everywhere, even on the ceiling and it had three TVs. We saw all his gold records and his costumes and I saw his grave. It was pretty sad to know he had been playing the piano in his pool room the morning that he died.

Xavier and I both bought blue , suede shoes in Memphis just like in Elvis's song.

Now we are in Jackson (the place, not Jackson Boyden!).
