Candlewood Suites Little Rock

I left OKC with sun and cloud and 44 F. But as miles of farmfields and trees passed, the clouds thickened up and I wondered when the thermometer would hit 50. It did in spite of the persistent cloud cover, about an hour outside of Little Rock. But, hey, it did not rain.<br>Saw more of the city than ...

... While we were there it was the beginning of a 4 day Bee keeping and honey managing program for $340. Room and Board included.

I made it back home after about three months of travel. I really enjoyed my trip, but it was good to be able to get home and relax and not have to worry about getting to the next town or finding a place to stay, and having space for my stuff and getting home-cooked meals is even better. My little brother took over my room, though, so now I'm in his for the length of time I stay at my parent's house. It's time to start ...

... after Little Rock we had a long 5 hour drive to Oklahoma City. We arrived around nine oclock and the girls jumped into the pool. Small things please us a great deal on this trip and room with a fridge and microwave make us very happy it means we can keep milk cold and warm it up very quickly in the morning. Ok so in Oklahoma I went to sleep, and Debbie went into the bar to sing a little Kareoke. We woke up the next morning ...

Ok..so after a unfound 126 Exit and many phone calls, all of our group (with exception of Whimpy's car...we temporarily lost her but she is stoped a few exits away!) stopped at a Wendy's for lunch. The trip has been pretty uneventful so far. Thnakfully no break downs or any big problems. We are almost done eating and then will head back on the road we are a little over a thrid of the way there!! And trust me all of the girls are sooooooo excited, and the coaches are pumped ...

... we hit a very bad storm - heavy rain, lots of wind. The<br>roads couldn't handle it and there was deep standing water on many of<br>the roads. We pulled off a while and waited it out. Once it calmed<br>down, we continued driving on US-78 toward Tupelo, Mississippi. We got<br>lunch at Arby's and let the kids stretch their legs (David Andrew was<br>mad that there was no playground!) We had a gas stop a couple of hours<br>later and were ...

... focus on the assassination. Again the exhibit ended with a trip through a gift shop, but this one appealed to us and we bought posters for our classrooms. It was 4:30 and so we hustled over to Sun Records for a tour before they closed at 6pm. We made it in time, and saw the recording studio that Elvis used repeatedly in the early 1950s. A current musician gave us a tour, told jokes, sang songs and showed us a trick Johnny Cash used to make his guitar sound like a ...

... was the most mosquitoes that I have ever had to deal with before or since. There were a lot of cool animals out and about though. We were driving around trying to find the camp site and within a 1/2 hour a rabbit, an opossum, and a deer all crossed the road in front of our car.
