- Do bring a bathing suit if you want to fully submerse yourself into the healing waters of Sulpher Springs — but flip flops you can slide out of and shorts you can wade in will do too.
- Do bring your own gloves and a spade to dig for diamonds, if you like.
- Do order adventurously in Memphis and try some of their classic Soul Food.
There are a lot of hidden (and some not so hidden) treasures between Dallas and Memphis — both cities were once known for their blues music scenes. This trip takes you to some musical and magical spots along the way. On this trip, you will look for diamonds (really, literal diamonds!), head up 216 feet into the air for a stunning view of America's first national park, and visit Elvis's iconic Memphis home.
