The Big Move Road Trip - Day 7

Woohooo....Day 7 was Graceland.  I've been looking forward to seeing Graceland for a while.  There was a parking fee in addition to the admission fee, I don't know if it was me who missed that on the website or what..but be prepared to shell out an additional 10-20 per car (I can't remember what it was).  We selected the platinum tour which included admission to the airplanes, the car museum, the Hawaii exhibit and something else ($37).

The tour was crowded, but well organized.  It was very informative and we spent a lot more time there than I thought we would.  So far, this was my favorite spot.

After that we got back in the car and headed for Arkansas.  We stopped at the Old Mill, famous for being in the opening credits of Gone with the Wind.  We spent and hour or less walking around and admiring how beautiful the park was.

There was not much daylight left, a few hours and we still had to make it to where we were staying that night.  On the way there, we found a lookout


and continued to Petit Jean State Park where we rented a cute, cozy cabin in the woods.
