We began the day with a return trip to Graceland in Memphis, TN. (we went there somewhere in the vicinity of 20 years ago on a family trip) Fortunately we were raised right, to be big Elvis fans, so we could appreciate how cool of a place Graceland is...but honestly? As much as I love Elvis, I think I was actually more entertained by/in awe of the people watching there. Wow. It's quite the....um...interesting crowd. Seriously! So many different types of people to observe. Loved every minute of it. (see "stats" below for more specifics)
After lots of fun was had at Graceland, it was time to hit the road for the rest of the day. A few minor setbacks, but we did just fine. We ended up in Oklahoma City for the night.
Vital stats for day #2:
- Number of curbs taken out by moving truck = 0 (I'm getting better!)
- U.S. states covered = 1 and 1/2
- Number of Taco Bell stops = 1 (I have a weak spot for "thinking outside the bun")
- Number of minutes spent in stand-still traffic on the highway for no apparent reason = 55
- Number of Budget moving trucks parked in Graceland parking lot = 1
- Number of guys at Graceland wearing Harley Davidson tshirts (with OR without sleeves) = 14 (that I was able to count)
- Number of amazing mullets spotted AND photographed at Graceland = 1 (not visible here, but the pony tail actually went all the way to his butt)
- Number of souvenirs purchased = 0 (they only had the Elvis sunglasses in kids sizes...what?!)
- Number of times "California Gurls" was heard and sung along to in truck = 5
- Number of times I accidentally veered off of 40 West onto something else = 1 (the goal here is really 0 every day...)
- Miles done today = 508.7
- Total miles done of trip = 1244.2
