Sunday at Graceland

Outside the Lisa Marie, One time Elvis realized that his daughter had never seen snow before so he did what any dad would do and took his plane to Colorado for a few hours so she could play in some snow then flew back home.
 


Cockpit

 Guest lavatory (yes it's real gold.)
 

 
Wardrobe

Front Lounge area

Gold plated seat belts

Conference table

Bar in the conference room. Did you know that Elvis didn't like alcohol? His favorite drinks were carbonated water, lime Gatorade, and Dr Pepper.

He had a special Elvis only chair at the back of the conference room.

His bedroom at the back of the plane.

His bed. (It was "King" sized.)

Vanity mirror. Oh look! It's me!

Dressing room and personal bathroom. I didn't get to use that one though. Darn that Plexiglas.

More of the dressing room at the very back of the plane.

 

Inside the smaller TCB jet.

 Me in the small jet.
 
And now for the cars!!!
 









 
These were some of his yard toys.

 
More cars.



 
 
 
This one was cool. It had a gold alligator skin top.
 



 




 
 







 
 
 
 
On to Graceland

 
This was a part that most people didn't get to see. It was a special VIP only exhibit.  This was the upstairs office. They moved the whole thing downstairs in a room by the carport. They still won't let visitors go upstairs. Elvis didn't so they wont either out of respect.
 
This was an open page to one of his books he was reading. It had some pretty wild ideas. Some of his notes were interesting and gave an insight to how he was thinking.



 
A few of the pictures he had in his personal office.


 
 
Now to the rest of the house.

 the stables

 Oh look a bathroom.

 Yep, I used the bathroom at Graceland. That puts me in an even smaller group of prestigious people now.

 This room was important to me. In fact I've waited years to see it. It was the room in the front of the racquet ball court. This is where he hung out and also the last place he ever sang or played an instrument. 

Here's the piano he played on his last day alive. He and a cousin were just hanging out. He played two songs anyone know what they were?

 Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain

 Unchained Melody

 The racquet ball court





 Hall of gold and platinum records.

 The back of Graceland


 His dad's office. Elvis did a live interview here after he got back from the army.


 He liked guns. This was an old smokehouse he used for target practice.


 More of the back grounds. There were several trailer houses where guests slept.

 A cool window I couldn't figure out where it was from the inside.

 No visitors allowed upstairs.

 

 The parlor


 music room


 back door of the kitchen

 Lisa's swing set.
 
 
Now the Vegas part.





 He had a lot of outfits.


 The gates.

 Funny what a 22 year old can do.
