Well, the pace of testing is winding down now. We think tomorrow (Friday) may be our last day. About 2:30 this afternoon they were done with Adam's last major thing for today. Adam had settled in to watch TV and Peggy was curled up with a book. This is not exactly a big site-seeing trip but I did happen to find out that we're about 4 blocks from a Memphis landmark, the original Sun recording studio. So I took a little break and walked down. Even happened to catch the 30 minute tour. For those not up on their Rock and Roll history, Sun records is where Elvis, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins (and others) were discovered in the mid-50's. It's the only recording studio in the National Register of Historic Places (although Motown is in the process of listing). They had some cool displays and some pretty valuable memorabilia. I stood on the exact spot where Elvis made his first commercial recording in 1954. Thank you, thank you very much.We may at least drive by Graceland on the way out of town. It is surprisingly close to the city center and freeway access and located on, of all things, Elvis Presley Blvd!

glad you guys got to take a breather. hang in there!!!
Thanks--we'll see if we can fit in Graceland on our way out of town--unless we are so ready to hit the road that we just tear out of here as fast as humanly possible!!! (and of course within the legal speed limit!!)
Hopefully, you'll be on the road when we post this. We thought for sure you guys had a hotel room to retire to at night (or on the nights when they let you/Adam sleep). No wonder you all sounded a bit stir crazy! We think you should keep up this blog after Memphis. Not a daily thing (unless you want to), but an occasional post. It's been fun for us and helped us feel like we were there in spirit.
Love to all!!!
I do hope you get the chance to stop by Graceland. I went as part of a HS band trip (So, a LONG time ago) and still remember it as jaw dropping obnoxious!
