Tennessee/Arkansas!

Tennessee/Arkansas!


Arkansas, Arkansas I just love old Arkansas!

Hey blog readers! Finally! We have access to the World Wide Web! I'm so sorry about the delay, blog readers. Celia and I have been getting SO much feedback begging for more frequent posts...WE"RE TRYING!

So, we left Asheville, NC on Tuesday morning and raced through Tennessee. The last 20 miles of the Blueridge in NC was beautiful! The foliage finally started to represent. The Blueridge lead us right into the Great Smoky Mountains. Very impressive. Very beautiful and more crowded than the Blueridge. After leaving the Great Smoky Mountain Park we entered dreary Little Pigeon, TN; the biggest strip mall I've ever seen. We wizzed right by Dollywood; no time to stop. Then we rushed through Knoxville, Nashville and Memphis. We did stop at the pictured Interstate BBQ just outside of Memphis. It was recommended in our Lets Go Roadtripping Book. We got some drive thru there and drove to Village Creek State Park in Arkansas. We had arranged earlier in the day for a 2 BDR cabin in the park. It was the most expensive place we have stayed thus far! $99! It wasn't worth it, unfortunatley. The cabin wasn't nearly as interesting as the one in Virginia. Totally non-descript, a little like being at my best friends house in middle school. Check out the pictures. The BBQ was delicious, however. This morning we got up and drove directly to historic Hot Springs, AK. Hot Springs is famous for their hot spring mineral bath spas. Celia and I got the full service at the oldest one there, open continuously since 1912. It was weird. From there we drove back to Little Rock and got there just in time to visit the William Jefferson Clinton Library. It was amazing! Unfortunately, Bill wasn't there. Where will Hillary have her Library? Can't wait to visit that one. We stopped in Fort Smith, AK for some creole food. Delish. We just arrived in Sallisaw, OK. We are staying at Sallisaw Inn for only $45. I talked down the owner lady from $50. Nice, right?
