Memphis - Day 3

Our last day in Memphis was very busy. We started our day with yummy desserts at the Peabody Hotel while we watched the famous Peabody Ducks daily march to the Grand Lobby, a time-honored tradition dating back to 1933...



Ron was then in his glory when we stopped by the Gibson Guitar Factory for a tour to see how the electric guitars are made. They wouldn't let us take pictures inside the factory, only outside. Cool tour that Canyon said was much better than he expected!



We saved the best for last, our visit to Graceland, home of Elvis Presley, and Presley's namesake. The tour took us through the mansion, the grounds, the trophy rooms, and the planes. A really cool visit that we all enjoyed via the audio tour.



And we ended our last night with dinner at the Flying Fish, where we had fried catfish and played Euchre. Great trip in a great city!
