the lorraine motel is now home to the national civil rights museum, but its place in history goes far beyond being a building to house a museum. in april 1968, this motel was the sight of the assassination of martin luther king, jr. as business declined, a group raised the funds to purchase the building and create the historic place it is today.
i've never been to the "real" graceland, but i have however made a few stops to graceland too. luckily for me, our itinerary includes a stop at elvis's actual home in memphis, graceland. this historic home receives visitors from all over the world, so i'm proud to say that i will finally be joining the ranks as one who has seen it.
one of my dream jobs (oddly enough) is to fly a fedex plane, and i'm thrilled that the last stop in our jam packed day is to the fedex hub. the number of packages that filter through this airport are truly staggering. i wish i could find the exact numbers now; i'm sure that after touring this facility i will.
