Tupelo Ms, Alabama & Georgia

We left Memphis Friday to go to Locust Fork, Alabama (outside of Birmingham) to visit a cousin and on the way stopped in Tupelo, Mississippi.   Then Sunday on to Carrollton, Georgia.  Tonight we are in Florence, South Carolina and will be home tomorrow, so this is our last blog for the Exploring the USA in 2009.  We're looking forward to seeing our family and friends..Thanksgiving will be very special this year!

This is the home where Elvis was born

The bedroom where the family slept...Elvis's twin was still born so he was an only child

it was only a two room home

It has been restored to the way it looked when he was a baby

we spent two days with cousin Helen (Carol's Dad and Helen's were brothers) and Bruce in Alabama

and then on to Carrollton, Georgia to spend the night at Rick (Steve's nephew) and Lauren's

Rick is a highway patrolman

and Bella..really enjoyed our visit with them
