It just goes to show that even the largest of Kings have the humblest of beginnings.

Hi James, it was very eerie to walk there, knowing that Elvis walked there too.

Hi Adrian, it was fun to visit there.  I have a great husband who finds all the neat spots to visit where ever we travel.  It makes for a fun and interesting road trip.
