This year we have traveled to a different state, Arkansas. We have only traveled to two states now, but Texas is like traveling to 2 or more states. We have now been from one side of Texas to the other, from East Texas (Caddo Lake) to West Texas (Amarillo).
Our travel to Arkansas was wonderful. We stayed at a fabulous camp ground that was run by the city of Little Rock and overlooked the Arkansas River. We felt like our RV was right on top of the river. We had a beautiful view!! While in Little Rock, we had a great time exploring. We went to the Grist Mill that shown in the opening of Gone With the Wind. The dogwoods were just beginning to bloom, and it made us get to enjoy the beginning of spring. We toured downtown Little Rock and went to the Capitol Building, Central High School, and many other historic places. We also toured the Clinton Library which was the second presidential library we have been to. We have been to the Carter Center in Atlanta, but we hope to visit lots more.
We also went to Crater of Diamonds State Park. It was a little different than I expected. I was so excited to get to search for diamonds. We went late on Tuesday to check it out, so that we would be ready for the next day. After 30 minutes at the park, I decided that buying a diamond would be lots easier. We left, and we didn't come back the next day. We did enjoy our time in Murpheesboro. It was a great little town and we had fun exploring the area.
