Arkansas trip plans

Day 1: Drive from Berryville <B>Arkansas</B> to Canton, Texas. It was an 8 hour drive...pretty good drive and easy. The kids watched movies on their new car DVD players. Kaela and Gehrett enjoyed the ride! When driving through Oklahoma the temperature was 98 degrees! The Airstream did great and the only trouble we had was the topper that Aaron bought to put on the truck kept opening. When we got here to Canton, we arrived at the Rock High Ranch, which is where Aaron's 20 year reunion was held. He got to see his friends from school, especially Alan, his best friend from school. Pictured below on the r...

Summer Road Trip 2008

16 day trip

We made it to Chattahoochee, Florida our 1st day. David thought that "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" was based on the Florida State Hospital located there. Upon further research, we found that there was a movie based on the mental institution called "Chattahoochee" (1989) starring Gary Oldman and Dennis Hopper, but not the Jack Nicholson film. Mona helps Daddy find Tiger stadium at LSU. We spent the 3rd day on Lake Saracen in Pine Bluff, <B>Arkansas</B> (an hour outside of Little Rock). Photo of Tally and David driving into Pine Bluff. We made it to Little Rock, AR today. This is where my Dad was b...

3 Dog Night Road Trip '08

52 day trip

The John May Museum of Natural History: I personally thought it was very cute (and very quaint). It is a legacy to one man's work, though it does say it's only about half his work. It is a display of lots of bugs. The word bug though doesn't give due credit to this display. It is a wide array of color, shape, and disversity. It is not a very big building, but the outward architechture follows the areas red clay features. I loved going to each display (that are crammed into a smaller than the display room) and looking at each frame, but the rest of my family wasn't overly impressed. It is a kid...

tour de Colorado Springs

8 day trip

Last night, after making sure we had everything packed for our trip, Mel and I went to sleep at about midnight. We woke up at 4:00 a.m. and left at around 4:30. We didn't make it far, however, because about 20 minutes south of Wichita, there was a severe lightning storm with hail ranging from golfball-sized to baseball-sized pieces. I seriously thought the windshield of the car was going to shatter, so we pulled underneath an overpass and sat there for about 10-15 minutes until the storm passed. The first two states we went through were Oklahoma and <B>Arkansas</B>. I have been through both of those ...

Florida Summer Blast 2008

12 day trip

no way! the ride to memphis was RELAXING. we stopped at lambert's and ate. to me, it wasn't all that great. if we weren't passing through i would not have made a special trip to go there. it was okay. then again...i don't really have a food fetish anymore. next stop was new madrid. here i had visions of the teutonic plates opening up and eating me. instead i just snapped photos from the observation deck. how many people can say they were photographed infront of number 10 island? that's what i thought... made it to memphis and i immediately found a statue of elvis where i had to oogle. so much ...

I have a dream...

4 day trip

Moving day was a little rough, not what we expected, the driver was as large as the truck and never stepped foot in the house. He sat by the truck all day and let the other 3 do all the work. All our things would not fit in the truck so they called for another one. It took till 9 at night. The we were off to Uncle Bruce and Aunt Cindi's for Pizza and to stay the night. In the morning on Thursday we had breakfast and headed out from Aunt Cindi's to Scottsdale, the ride went well, Dad did fine on the motorcycle, we got to each stop before him and would have to wait for him. Nicco slept most of t...

Mount Vernon or Bust

10 day trip

Tuesday Nov. 20, 2007 At 6:00 a.m. we left for a 12 hour drive to Mobile Al. Our neighbors and their two kids in their car joined my wife and I and our two kids in our car and we caravanned through <B>Arkansas</B>, Louisiana, Mississippi, and finally Alabama. We ate at the Brick Pit (my boys devoured their giant 1/2 orders of ribs.) and arrived early enough at our motel. Early enough that is that we drove to downtown and toured the Mobile Police Museum. It is located in a working police station and while not the Smithsonian its an interesting enough place. Our neighbors work in law enforcement so it ...
