Memphis is a sneaky good tourist city. We went to Graceland - but it's more a museum to us than a pilgrimage for the older folks who lived it. Tons of other interesting music stuff and I'm not a big music person: Sun, Stax, Beale Street, Rock and Soul Museum (tho it covers a lot of what you get at Sun and Stax), and Gibson Guitar factory tour to name a few things we did. The National Civil Rights Museum is great.The ducks were fun, the Pink Palace was good local goofy fun, and the Mud Island River Park was good (since the weather was good).
Legit BBQ scene, too, and that's coming from a native Texan who went to school near Kansas City. I love anywhere that can do good dry ribs and Central was really legit.
