Day 2: Salem, VA to Memphis, TN

Today was filled with lots of driving again, but were making progress! We chose to visit Graceland because who knows when we'd be back here again, at least there is a possibility that one of us might travel to Nashville for business. Today we drove about 650 miles which went by rather fast considering how long we were actually driving. That brings our total to about  1,150 miles- wowzers!

Sorry about this kind of blurry picture, but we figured you wouldn't have believed us if we told you we got the Alaska license plate! Currently were at 40/51 plates. It's 51 because of stupid Washington DC and I'm pretty sure the only cars that actually have DC plates are town cars and taxis so... yeah. Otherwise the only thing were absolutely screwed on is Hawaii, but no one thought we were going to see Alaska.
After about 10 hours in the car we arrived at Graceland, were staying about a 5 second walk from this sign, which is pretty cool. Naturally we were hungry because we hadn't eaten in 5 minutes so we decided to consult Yelp, Foursquare, Google and the guy driving the pink Cadillac limo where we should get some "real" Memphis BBQ. We found this place...
Yup, thats BBQ spaghetti you're looking at and you know what? IT WAS FREAKING DELICIOUS! Jeremy ate most of it but look what Charlsie got a hold of...
She asks that you please ignore her unkept eyebrows, but who could look at that when there is an entire pig full of ribs on that plate? Jim Neely's Interstate Barbeque, it was pretty freaking delicious, we heard Adam Richman went to Rendezvous and were pretty bummed with didn't consult the all-knowning food guru prior BUT Jim Neely makes a fine barbeque and the staff was SUPER friendly. Oh and the cole slaw is worth eating instead of giving it to your grandma.

This pic was snapped as we drove back from barbeque with our tummies really happy. We need to get some shut eye, gotta rest up for the 50 PB and Bacon sandwiches were going to devour  tomorrow at Graceland.
