A Visit From Rich & Renee | Graceland

We aren't exactly big Elvis fans but he is so well known and such a big part of music history, 
Jay and I felt we couldn't pass up the opportunity to visit Graceland.
We learned quite a bit about Elvis...
He was in 31 movies, made 70 albums, and has sold over 1 billion albums [more than any artist to this day].
Graceland is full of pictures, videos, restaurants, his house, and museums- including his car collection. 
 Such tourists with our headsets.
He bought his 13 acre mansion at age 22. It's hardly considered a mansion compared to houses nowadays.
The upstairs was completely off limits which was pretty disappointing, but it was a very personal space for him.
There was still lots to see with a basement, shooting range, racquetball court, garage, horses, swimming pool, 
and the Mediation Garden, where Elvis is buried.
