We started today off by going down to Graceland. We did not go on the tour but Tammy and the kids went and took some pictures out by the gate and the wall. We probably would have gone in if it wouldn't have cost us an arm and a leg. It was still pretty cool to see the grounds the famous gates and his planes. We did find a gift shop that had about everything you could think of with Elvis on it.
We then headed to the banks of the Mississippi for our riverboat tour. We had to wait for awhile before it started and it was pretty hot, however it was kind of cool just hanging out on a riverboat. The tour eventually started and we headed down the Mississippi. I was not aware that we were going to learn so much about Memphis and the Mississippi. It was amazing all of the things that we learned on this trip. The views and the ride on the river were pretty neat too. Down below are some pictures that we took on our riverboat ride.
Above is a picture of the "old" arena for the Memphis Grizzlies. It is pretty cool to look at but is not currently used. Below
is a picture of our kids riding on the boat with Memphis in the background.
We were able to get a picture of the whole family as we rode down the Mississippi.
The picture below is of the riverboat we were on during our tour of the Mississippi. We rode in the middle at first and then moved to the bottom later during the ride. We finally
succumbed to the heat and
humidity and move to the area of the boat that was
air conditioned. It was about 98 degrees and 85% humidity today.
After our riverboat trip we headed towards Little Rock, Arkansas. On our drive we continued to fill out our scavenger hunt sheets. We also played road trip bingo. It was only a two hour drive and seemed to go by pretty fast. Tonight the kids played in the pool for a couple of hours. I don't see how they can stay in the water that long.
