Fri. morning we set the GPS for Chuck's old house and neighborhood tour. He wasn't lying about being from the wrong side of the tracks. Remember in Vacation when Chevy Chase says to the family, "roll 'em up"? That's what it felt like. Only we couldn't roll 'em up because we were in the flashy (some have called it rednecky) Jeep with the windows out. At one point he asked me what high school we were next to and then said, "oh, crap," when I told him. Anyhoo, it was good to see where he went to school and rode his bike around causing trouble, and he was glad to see it all again.
After lunch at the campground, we walked over to Graceland. We had a 45 min. wait before we could get in line for the shuttle over, so we did some of the exhibits while we waited. Then when we could queue up, there was still quite a wait for the shuttle. I think Chuck was impressed with the house, but I'm not sure the boys were.

Fri. night we met Chuck's sister and her daughters on Beale St. We walked to the Peabody and tried to watch the walking of the ducks to the roof. The lobby was so jam-packed it was hard to see the actual ducks. We had dinner at the famous Rendezvous BBQ Ribs place. Chuck loved it. I'm still partial to NC BBQ. We walked on Beale St. and down to the river. The Mississippi River is quite impressive.
