This picture wasn't taken today, but I just wanted to say if you have never rode the Trolley in Little Rock, you should! Check it out....http://www.cat.org/rrail/ It cost our family a $1 to ride it today, and we had so much fun. This is our second time to ride, but they have extended the track to go by the Cliton Library now so we rode again. The driver told us they have plans underway to extend the track 3 more miles to the airport. My kids think they are on a cool train and get so excited about it. It travels over the Arkansas river from downtown North Little Rock to Little Rock. It is really interesting to listen to the history of the 2 cities, and the driver told us all the big plans the Argenta area of North Little Rock had coming up. It is really going to be cool!
Also, the trolley drives right past the Peabody Hotel, http://www.peabodylittlerock.com/ and if you stop at I think 11:00, you can see the ducks making their entrance for the day. We haven't done that yet.
We also went to the Museum of Discovery today. http://www.amod.org/ We love to go there. It is located downtown too. I didn't take any pictures today but have in the past when we have gone. We have a family membership to go anytime we want. For what it would cost our family to get in twice, we were able to buy the family memebership. I know we have been there at least 5 times, and they love it there. We get an e-mail when they have special programs and new exhibits. It is cool there! And, with that membership, we get in free to the Mid America Museum in Hot Springs, which is only an hour from here. It is even cooler!
I have been super busy with photography lately, but I just wanted to post a little about our day. We try to do a fun outing at least once a week. Since we work most weekends, we get to have family time during the week, which is great b/c places are not crowded.
I have wanted to ride that....but havent yet,actually havent done any of those things except for Mid-America,I love to find those gems like that...I did a post on some things like that in Pine Bluff,not long ago.Sounds awesome!!!
