Arkansas Vacation

We are presently on a mini-vacation down in Arkansas!

We left home on Friday afternoon and drove down to AR and made it to Fort Smith where we stayed the night.

Saturday morning we slept in and then had breakfast and then hit the road. We headed a little Southeast and went to Mt. Magazine to the highest point in the state. We hiked the 1 mile round trip up to the point. Rowen actually walked for a little bit of the trail but then had enough and road on Daddy's back in the pack.

After the hike, we traveled to Russellville, AR where we had lunch at Wendy's and then checked into the Fairfield Inn. We then traveled some more and thought we were going to see a natural bridge but after riding 30 miles we find that the road is closed and there was no way to get there...it was a really gorgeous drive anyways!

We then took a back road (yes...a dirt road) and traveled to a Fall Water Creek where there is a cool waterfall and swimming hole. I was not feeling well so Brian & Ro went for a swim while I watched and took pictures. The boys had great fun in the COLD water! We had to ride on more dirt roads to get out of there and it seemed like it took forever...probably just felt like that to me as I was having some awful stomach cramps/pains!

We finally made it back to the hotel about 8pm or so and after relaxing a bit, I sent the boys out to pick up some dinner.

Tomorrow we look forward to traveling up to visit with Rick & Jessica and going to church and spending the day/night with them.

We will travel home on Monday making it home in time for me to attend my knitting class Monday night! :)

We didn't bring the card reader with us, so I will post pictures of the trip when we get home!

We are having a great time!
