Tourist in my own city


This past weekend my good friend Lisa came into town. We had so much fun staying up til 2am her first night, catching up. Friday we went to the Grizzlies game and Saturday we went to Graceland. Saturday night we went down to Hernando and cooked out and played games at Brett and EmilyBlair's house. Lots of fun! Graceland was awesome. I felt like Chandler on Friends when complains about going to the Statue of Liberty and all the touristy stuff in NYC and then comes back decked out in all the NYC merchandise and says "New York City is awesome!" I always say that native Memphians don't do Graceland, yada yada yada... But I forgot how good of a tour it is! They have put a lot of effort into it. Lisa and I found ourselves wanting to buy everything in the giftshop. We refrained and only left with Elvis 75th birthday koozies, magnets and matches. A good time had by all!
