Update: 4 October

We went to Tupelo, Mississippi, to visit the birthplace of Elvis Presley. The house he was born in has been preserved, along with the small chapel his family went to.

It is hard to believe that families lived in homes this small. Just two small rooms and a communal outhouse.

She finally gets to hold Elvis's hand, even if it just a 13-year-old Elvis...


While visiting a private military collection in Tupelo, I was tempted to trade in our Hyundai Sonata rental for something a little bit more macho...


We had never seen tobacco growing before.

The smell of the leaves hanging drying in the barn was very potent.

The plants also grow a lot bigger than we expected...
