Graceland!

Grant asked me what I wanted to see most on this trip..it had to be Graceland. After our wonderful lunch we headed down to Elvis Presley blvd. I kept thinking "This can't be right..the area was just soooo run down." We drove down to a huge parking area and Grant said, go find out about the tickets. I'll find a place to park. Tickets to just see the outside of the house were $45.00..so I thought I'll just get a picture of it and we can head on our way. Could not find the house! Seriously. Huge gates everywhere....As I was about to break down, my cute husband called my cell phone and said, "I am coming to get you..Graceland is right across the street!" I hop in the car..we drive across the street and park in a little turn off by the front gate. I hop out expecting to see..well...a huge mansion.....nope..Huge lawn, tiny home..but I can still say I was there!

yes..that's it!

The lawn was bigger than the house!

Memphis..Mississippi River

Across the river is Mud island..I believe it was in the movie "The Firm' I don't really know..but that's what Grant kept saying!

Me and the boy..and the boys!

Oh Memphis! I love the history..Macen only knows "The Blind Side"...

The King himself

and the "other" King!

BEALE Street..Memphis

I love this street...this town, this history....

B.B. KING!

B.B. Kings Blues Club!

Blues City Cafe

This sign says it all!!! This has become a tradition for the Caufield Clan. Best BBQ in Memphis!

This is the man that greets you at the door! You can't say no to him!

Our Hostess! She was so cute..

Grant and his Ribs!! SOOOOOOO YUMMY

Macen loves him some good ol' fashioned Southern BBQ!

Tennessee..I love you!

Crossing the Mississippi River into Tennessee..my most favorite place on the whole trip.

The City is beautiful!

Here we go ladies and gentlemen..down one of the most amazing streets in the USA

BB King, Elvis....this place just screams music history!

Texas and Oklahoma are very long states

What a trooper Grant is! He drove through the most boring spots, letting us nap..keeping us entertained...I couldn't do it without him!

Scout and Macen in the back...Bear is back there too, but he had his own spot....

Bosco kicked Macen out of the back seat...he wanted to look out the window!

Seriously...everything is oversized in Texas!

T! T is for Turtle

The Big Texan

Now THAT is a boot!

I truly believe that Texas is it's own country. They don't look to kindly on outsiders....and there was not one side that said "God Bless the USA" just "God Bless Texas" and if you sneeze, they say "God Texas you"

Everything's Bigger in Texas

Grant HAD to stop at this place. He wanted to try and eat the 72 oz steak..but we really didn't have the time.

Macen just kept saying.."Texas is toooooo HOT"

The Big Cow

and my guys

Movin' right along

Our trip to Virginia was AMAZING! Here we are going over the Colorado River. We loved Arizona. The cliff dwellers, the jewelry, the heat..so pretty!

My Boys

What a view!

As the sun was setting a storm was rolling in.....
