Little Rock Travel Blogs

After a long cold winter in NYC, I began to realize that I may be suffering from a touch of cabin fever.  Usually by April I am done with the cold weather.  This year was no exception.  After taking a hiatus, I decided that the 50 State Project couldn’t be ignored anymore.  I …

Not even half an hour outside of OKC, I have another run-in with Johnny Law.  Well, this guy was more like Cletus-law, and boy howdy!  He sure was a prick!  He pulled out of a tree-filled median and followed me for about 5 miles or so.  I saw a gas station at the next exit, so I…

I'm back in Arkansas for my 3rd extended visit for job related training. It's truly a beautiful state, full of warm and welcoming people. I'll be here until April '08, so keep coming back as I update....

I stayed in Arkansas for about a month.  I have spent a good portion of my life here.  There are lots of things to do in Little Rock.  I visited the old mill and published some pics for your viewing pleasure.  I also took pics of the downtown area and you can see that the river …

(J) There are mangroves in Arkansas--no pictures if asked to hand over evidence of said obviously random fact. Apparently 75 mph and a cement rail with tree cover doesn't lend for picture taking. Who knew? Personally, I was hoping for have a monument erected as a replica of my picture. It will …

Drove through 1 state...1 more to go!  Still on the 40, we headed west.    We then merged onto Interstate 440 W towards Texarkana....hmmm...can you figure out where this town is located?  Though we didn't stop in Little Rock, Arkansas, we did see it from afar.  Can't r…

After doing these road trips for a few years, I've come to understand that each state has a specific feel to it, and that definately carries over into driving.  The roads change in every state, as soon as you cross the border.  Arkansas is a fairly nice state to drive through.  I've …

A long awaited reunion with my sister in Arkansas. She lives in Cabot, just 20 minutes from Little Rock. 112 degrees w/ 60% humidity and 150 times the bugs in Cali, yeeeee!

A whirlwind weekend focused around downtown Little Rock attractions.

I spent a 3 day business trip in Little Rock, Arkansas. Little Rock is a small city with a great waterfront district. Dinner at Rumba's was excellent, the President Clinton Library is a must see, and the people are very hospitable.

It started innocently enough; I visited Juneau, Alaska in June 1993 and explored the State Capitol building. A few months later, It was Montgomery, Alabama's. In the course of time, it became a hobby. Near the end it became a bit of an obsession. Then, in August of 2006, I visited my 50th US State Capitol building in Pierre, SD. (Yeh!) Yes, I know, I'm a geography nerd.... All entries are maintained in on the 'first visit' date.

Yes, I have been promising for a long time that I would be going to Little Rock, Arkansas.  I know a few people out there were disappointed (me) that it hadn’t happened yet.  Well, it finally did!  Arkansas was more than I ever dreamed it would be!  So I am proud to announce i…

This morning I woke up in Little Rock and, since I had been to tired the night before to leave my hotel room, I spent some time exploring downtown before checking out the Peabody hotel. Downtown revolves around a newly created/restored river walk district. It was very tourist friendly without being…

Well we are back home, good too be back in my own bed.  had a good time, watched the fireworks.  Pensacola was fun, we stayed out at the beach from dusk to dawn.  I have been to many places in Florida, Pensacola is my favorite place.  It is a smaller place but lots of fun, plus …

We arrived home without any problems. Customs was a much better experience than the last time we traveled. We were met at the airport by our kids and parents, who were ecstatic to see us! Can't wait to show them their presents! And I hope we can take the kids on a trip like this sometime!
