Memphis: Take 2

I'm an Elvis fan and was so excited when we finally made our first trip there last April.  I was happy with my weight loss progress at that time but I remember that I couldn't go to Arcade Restaurant because they're primarily all booths or some close counter chairs. I am excited to be able to put that on the roster for one breakfast this time since I'm pretty confident in my booth fitting abilities now.  (People who don't fit into booths know what a big deal that is)  We're going to try to split things as much as possible except the Lacy Special at The Little Tea Shop, that is just too good but we're learning from last time and trying to plan our meals out as much as possible.  We're staying at a condo essentially so we're bringing healthy cereal and grabbing some eggs to cook in the mornings so we know that at least one meal per day will be healthy.  (And no, I'm not going to Memphis and skipping BBQ or soul food.  I don't get it where I am so we're doing as much as we can between splitting, water only to drink (except for 1 sweet tea at BB Kings) and taking advantage of the fitness center to trying to minimize damage)

So food is pretty much covered, now it's the attractions I need help with.  We've done Graceland (but we're doing it again because we're going when they're dudded up for Christmas), Sun Studios, The Peabody Ducks, Beale St and the Gibson Guitar factory.  So we've hit the major things.  Those things that no longer allow me to hear the song Walkin' in Memphis without tearing up.  *ween!*

Other than the things listed above, anyone have any suggestions on other worthwhile sights?  I know Mud Island will be closed so that's not an option.  I'd like to do a carriage ride but that doesn't take long.  So you travelers or locals out there, what other attractions are worth hitting up in Memphis?
