Has anyone on here ever been to Elvis Presley's Graceland?

We went last weekend. We only live 3.5 hour drive from Memphis so we just got up Saturday morning and struck out. We had such a wonderful time. I've always liked Elvis and always thought it would be neat to go there but it wasn't a high priority. My mom is in town visiting from a couple of states away and really wanted to go. So we went. To walk through his house and imagine Elvis living his daily life there is so cool. Then to walk over to his meditation garden and see the place he was laid to rest...then to walk the street in front of his house and see the thousand and thousands of signatures of people who have visited from all over the world...it was very humbling. Of course the whole place was very commercial oriented. Other than the actual house, all the museums exited through gift shops. One other very cool thing was walking through his private jet, the Lisa Marie. You can reach out and touch the chair that he sat in during Lisa Maries birthday party.

For those of you who have been there...please share your experiences.

For those of you who have not...would you like to visit there someday?
