Checotah, OK

We finally found a place with wifi.....it's right here at the Flying J in Checotah, Oklahoma.

QUIZ ALERT: What famous singer is from Checotah? (Sorry adults, grandkids only)

Our first day on the road from home to Bristol, VA/TN was very good. The weather was fine and the roads were dry, a totally uneventful trip. We spent the night in the Sam's parking lot in Bristol.

Tuesday morning, however, we woke up to a coating of snow on the ground. The roads were just wet, so no real problem driving. At times the snow was very heavy and visibility was poor, but we eventually drove out of the snow around Nashville and ended up in a Walmart in Memphis. Yes, we drove the entire length of Tennessee in one day.

This morning we drove the 20 miles or so to Graceland and took the Platinum Tour. (That just means you pay more) Though I never was a real Elvis fan, it was an interesting tour and I took lots of pics. Barb loved it. (Elvis was not home and noone had seen him for many years)

I have not uploaded any pics yet, cause I'm tired. I also am going to try something different....instead of loading the pics into the blog, which takes a lot of time, I'll be adding them to the slideshow. All you have to do then is to single click on the slideshow and see the pics. I will have captions for them. We'll try it that way and see if everyone likes it.

Well, it's 9:20 Central time (10:20 home time), it's been a long day and we're tired. See you soon.
