Memphis & Elvis

Since Jennifer was in town, we took a day trip to Memphis to check out Beale Street, Graceland, and get some Memphis style BBQ at Rendezvous.

Graceland Estate

We all agreed the house was very ordinary. The only thing that really set it apart was that some of the rooms were decorated in a tacky, over the top way. I wasn't able to get too many pictures, especially of the crazy rooms (jungle room and TV room), but here are a few I was able to snap with a baby in tow.

Dining Room

Kitchen- It seemed very ordinary

Pool Room- All the walls and ceiling are covered in fabric

Amelia was kept quiet and entertained by my iPhone... she was sooooo happy!

Lounge

RIP Elvis

Did I mention in was still 100+ degrees outside?

Amelia's favorite part of the whole trip was the visit to the Graceland Ice Cream Shop! She squeeled and giggled in delight when she saw Jennifer's ice cream.  She was even more excited to have her own scoop to munch on.  Here she is pointing out the letter and numbers on the jukebox.

BBQ @ Rendezvous

We had a Memphis style BBQ dinner at the world famous Rendezvous.  And yes, it's located in a dirty, smelly alley.  Oh yeah, and we had a celebrity sighting.  Jimmy and Jennifer recognized Debbie Wasserman Schultz (a frequent guest on Bill Maher and other political shows) as she came in and sat at the table next to us.
