Courtyard By Marriott Little Rock Downtown

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 ...

... be more of a traveler in my own town and do some of the more touristy things, as well as just get out and explore more. Hopefully I'll have my eyes open a bit more than I used to and take more pleasure in smaller things. I may update this blog some in the future on interesting things from around Little Rock, but not as often as I did when traveling. I also plan on posting here about any smaller trips I take later.<br ...

... for the high school. It was a very memorable tour that can only make you feel saddened that so much hatred exsisted and hopeful that times have changed and will continue to change as we as people treat each other with respect, kindness and tolerance. After speaking to the Rangers that work at the center, I left with a great deal of lesson plans and a CD that I can share with all my collegues at Dayton Street school. Ok ...

... 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 ...

... dumpy, but the River Market area is nice. Next it was off to check into the Comfor Inn, only a short drive from the Clinton Library. The motel offers a free shuttle around the area, so I hopped aboard for a ride down to the River Market area to find a restaurant to have dinner. The River Market area was jam packed with people everywhere. The Riverfest Ampitheatre was hosting the annual Juneteenth concert, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of ...

... for me, it's up to me to drive, so I depart. Back in the car, I scan the guidebook blurb, here's what it says. The William J Clinton Presidential Center and Park. Located on the banks of the Arkansas River in downtown Little Rock. The Clinton Center houses the largest archival collection in American Presidential history (I heard inside that enough items were stored to keep an archivist working every day for the next 100 years!).
