Shortly after my return from New Orleans, I was asked to make a team visit to our Memphis, TN office. This February visit was much different than my (very hot) August visit, and it included more delicious food, better weather (even some cool rain), a trip to see "The King" at Graceland, and a 2:00am hotel fire alarm (hey, you win some; you lose some). Below are some pics from the trip, including work stuff and Graceland. I was really excited to see Graceland, especially for the $33.00 ticket price....but I was underwhelmed. It looked small and hokey, and the museum attached was just bizarre. There was absolutely nothing that told of Elvis' drug abuse, health issues, or untimely death....not a single unflattering photo....all glitz, glamour, and good times. I was, however, super impressed with the 4 or 5 gift shops on the property, not to mention the kitschy tourist shops surrounding the Graceland property. ANYTHING you want with Elvis' face or signature on it can be found here. Anyway, it was nice to balance out our work with a little bit of fun! I believe I've had my fill of Memphis, though.....thank you; thank you very much.
