June 2023--part 1- Graceland

 We had another appointment in Missouri in June so we decided to  make it a vacation trip.  Daniel took off work, we took the camper and we drove to Memphis first and spent a night at the campground at Graceland.

Something interesting I learned was the Elvis was a twin.  His brother, Jessie, died at birth.  Also, the info. at Graceland said that his parents didn't know they were having twins.  Jessie was born and died and they were mourning that when they were surprised by Elvis's birth.























 







Something that struck me was that during the audio tour and all the information at Graceland, I didn't see any mention of the drugs or weight gain and health problems or divorce.  
We watched this movie while we were there which portrayed those things.


On Sunday, after touring Graceland we set off for our 5+hour drive to Missouri.
