Hampton Inn & Suites 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.

... 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.

... and sauce here too. After photographing five beautiful children at the river front, we jumped in the car and drove to Central High School. CHS is the location of the famous Little Rock Nine. The nine brave African American teenagers who perserved through so much abuse and hatred to receive an education that they were more than entitled to. The visitors center was beautiful and we happened to walk in just as atour was ...

... our predetermined stop at North Little
Rock. As we were driving, we got a wonderful surprise when we realized
we were now in the central time zone and had gained an hour! So we
arrived at the hotel around 8 pm (CST) and the kids headed straight to
the indoor pool. They swam for about an hour before we got hot showers
and got in bed. We have a room with 2 queen beds and the kids chose to
sleep together in one bed.

... the entire 10,000 Arkansas National Guard was federalized, to take them out of the hands of Governor Faubus. At nearby Camp Robinson, a hastily organized Task Force 153rd Infantry drew guardsmen from units all over the state. Most of the Arkansas Guard was quickly demobilized, but the ad hoc TF153Inf assumed control at Thanksgiving when the 327th ...

... off on one as well. 1-1. Any way a quick trip to a garage, and a oil change, solved the car problem. The fluid was only condensation from air conditioning in 100 degree heat! We drove to Tulsa, to drive to Oklahoma, the original route 66 road, and the longest stretch, over 100 miles that exists. The experience was fantastic, being on an open road with music blasting out. Those songs we heard on that road will stay with me forever... Off to Oklahoma City tomorrow. Take care Jim
