My parents picked our kids up at our house early Saturday moring. She had packed our clothes and for me a cooler full of beer and with the top down we headed west with me not knowing where we were going. I had my suspicions we were headed to the casinos in Tunica, Mississippi, but after we passed the last Robinsonville exit for the casinos she only grinned. My next guess was that she had found some cheap airfare and we were flying out of Memphis to some unknown destination. Of course, when I mentioned this she only grinned as we drove past the airport. I was stumped until we pulled into the parking lot of the "Heartbreak Hotel" (at that time part of Elivs Presley Enterprises). We parked and and checked into our room. She had booked some sort of weekend getaway that included accommodations at the hotel, tickets for tours of Graceland, Elvis' car museum, Elvis' personal jet The Lisa Marie, and a shuttle ride to downtown Memphis and a meal at the Elvis Presley Cafe. It was one of the most enjoyable and memorable trips I can remember. Yes, we did go to SUN Records!Jeffery in Alabamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335332266715975717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365858055267871677.post-1443442048846035062016-01-12T17:01:41.113-05:002016-01-12T17:01:41.113-05:00Now we know, it was all Elvis' fault.
