The first part of March we went to Hot Springs Arkansas for the weekend. It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun! When we first got there, we decided to climb the 216 foot mountain tower...well, ok...we didn't really climb it...there was an elevator inside ;) It was a pretty neat structure that had a small museum on one level...that gave some of the history of Hot Springs and 140 mile panoramic views of the area and the Ouachita Mountains. After that excursion, we spent some time in the historic downtown...going through some of the shops and seeing some of the old buildings...like the Arlington and Bathhouse Row.
We stayed at Lake Hamilton Resort which is located on a peninsula...and the next day we went to the Oaklawn Park horse races. Jamie had never been to the horse races and she picked up on the gambling part real quick...We didn't win lots of money...but we did come out ahead and had an enjoyable day.
We hope to get back there next year and stay awhile longer...there was just so much to do and see...I set up a link to a video of Hot Springs for anyone who is interested...just click on the title of this post.
