Sun Studio, Stax & Dr. Martin Luther Kin

Today was a bit of a touring day… We need to get a good start on the morning so we had a quick breakfast at the hotel cafe. We needed to get a Headstart on our day today because the tourism at Sun studio records is very busy. We were fortunate enough to only have to wait a half an hour to 45 minutes. The tour was amazing and really provided us a wonderful experience into Elvis‘s early days, and how hard he had to work to make it in the business! After our son studio records tour, we went to Stax. This tour was insightful into the Blues being brought into Memphis and everyone that shaped and influenced. After Stax Leila found us the oldest diner in Memphis, and it turned out to be quite a little treasure! The Arcade Restaurant treated us well and filled our tummies before our next tour of the National Civil Rights Museum. This location gives you all the feels. It had been created around the motel that Dr. Martin Luther King had been murdered at. It was very impactful to all of us. We spent a few hours filling our minds with respect and knowledge for what history has provided us. After this visit, back to the hotel we went for Leila’s Honorary Duck Master Assistant Ceremony. Dinner was enjoyed by all at the Italian restaurant within the Peabody Hotel. Called it an early night…because tomorrow is ELVIS DAY!Read more
