On Our Way Home...

Ray C. loves to take us to fun places.  So, on our way home from North Caroline, we made a few little stops!  One was in Memphis, Tennessee.

 We were super excited to visit Graceland, home of the King of Rock 'N Roll, Elvis Presley!  The kids really enjoyed the trip, especially since daddy familiarized us with the king by playing Elvis Radio for three hours before we arrived!

 We also visited downtown Memphis, where we are at The Blues Cafe and did a little window shopping.

And then, we took a less than beautiful walk down the streets of Memphis to the Lorraine Motel where Martin Luther King, Jr. was shot.  The hotel has been preserved to look the same as it did that tragic day.  It was a wonderful lesson for the kids as we were able to point out signs that still existed from those days on some restaurants..."Whites Only" or "No Coloreds".  We had some good conversations.  I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to visit both of these historic places.
