our dinner spot



Had a long but beautiful today on Interstate 40.  Tennessee is truly a gorgeous state, I can see why these folks are so proud of it.  We left our friends this morning at 9 and arrived here today at 3.  Sounds like 6 hours, but due to the change from eastern to central time, it was actually 7.  Very little traffic and all in all a smooth trip.

Our motel is just across the street from Graceland and the whole area is all about Elvis and Graceland, including the music blasting from the speakers in the lobby and hallways!!!  They also have 3 Elvis only movie channels on the TV.  We opted not to go to Graceland as it's a little pricey and we're not die hard Elvis fans.  Fun to see all the stuff, though.

We ate dinner at a great spot recommended by the lady at the front desk.  It's a local landmark and if you want, they'll come pick you up in a pink Cadillac limo!  Marlow's makes the best pork dinners around these parts according to her.  She's right, the ribs were awesome!  On to Oklahoma tomorrow.
