We had to leave Colombus today to continue our journey on to Phoenix. We left bright and early so that we would have time for the Elvis pilgrimage through Tupelo, Mississippi (where he was born) and Graceland in Memphis. It ended up being pretty cool (even though it was more than a bit cheesy).
We crossed over the mighty Mississippi, through Arkansas and then hit a spectacular storm just shy of Oklahoma City. Tonight we had dinner with Tom and Hyla Glover. What a joy! I had never met David's parents before, but had heard from him how great they were. Hyla made fun of us for going to Graceland....I guess we can forgive her as she made an awesome chocolate cake for desert.
Tomorrow we'll make our way as far west as we can drive in a day. If we can make the Arizona border, we'll be happy. Then we'll just have a few hours left to make Phoenix by noon on Saturday.
