My sister and I road tripped from Chicago to Miami in less than a week. We made our way through St Louis, Missouri (which, we will be back!), Memphis, Tennessee, Oxford and Tupelo, Mississippi, and Birmingham and Montgomery, Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After St Louis, we had a pit stop in Memphis, Tennessee. We probably made this trip more about Elvis Presley than anyone else, because we learned a whole lot at Sun Studio! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun Studio: The Birthplace of Rock ‘n Roll<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We got there just in time for the last tour. Because of covid, everything was more limited, but we were able to get the full experience! I absolutely loved everything about Elvis Presley’s story, especially since I’ve been able to visit a few of the main spots that make him who he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elvis was born in Tupelo, Mississippi and later moved with his parents to Memphis, Tennessee to kickstart his dream. Little did he know, he would begin singing with Sun Records Label in 1954 and signed a contract with RCA Records the following year. I actually visited that studio as well!<\/a> By 1956, he had become an international sensation! What’s not to love?! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
