We began the last day of our journey again in the fitness center where Larry said he walked off 2 croutons! We didn't have much driving to do, so we cruised through the Smokies and stopped at The Methodist Conference grounds at Lake Junaluska on our way to Asheville. Every building was decorated for Christmas, and Larry reminisced about the summer he worked there, as well as, the many times he and his family stayed there for the yearly Western North Carolina Meth...

After a few last glances at the Mississippi, we headed to Graceland. Priscilla has done a great job creating a Mega-income for the estate! Parking: $10, tour: $35/person, $25 for us due to our advanced age and AAA membership. It was worth it!

The film clips of Elvis, Priscilla, and Lisa Maria, enjoyin...

We climbed the steps up onto what we thought was the loading platform...

Our show was in the Andy Williams Moon River Theater and it included lunch in the Moon River ...

We left Tulsa this morning after a stint in the fitness center...we should be back to where we started after our extreme workout! LOL. We traveled through Oklahoma, Arkansas and finally arrived in Branson, Missouri mid-afternoon. After checking in our hotel (our first Hotwire purchase...and a good one), we drove around town getting oriented and picked up our show tickets for tonight...Tony Orlando, and tomorrow night...Pierce Arrow Show. We know nothing about the...
