3rd Stop Hot Springs, AR

We arrived at Hot Springs National Park Wednesday and will be leaving tomorrow for Texarkana, TX to spend the night at a base near by. Once we leave there, we'll head on down to Waco and spend 1 or 2 days seeing that area before going on to San Antonio where we'll spend at least a week.

This is a great quiet park with a lot of camping room. The campground hasn't been very full the whole time we've been here, but I'm sure Memorial Day weekend it will be filled to capacity. It has a nice clear water creek running right through the campground and sits between two small mountains. Abby loves getting to play in the water!!! She's a mess! Several of the local kids come here to swim and seem to have a ball! It's great just sitting out under the big trees in my lawn chair reading a good book while being fed grapes by Becky (oh wake me up I think I was dreaming there for a second). This place has been a very good resting place for us and I'm sure we'll be returning in the future.

We went to Bath House Row the other day and toured all the bath houses where the gangsters went for their hot springs bath and massage in the early 1900's. It was pretty amazing how every bath house seems to be in as good of shape if not better than it was when built. We were planning on taking a dip and a massage, but Becky was under the weather and we had to cancel that thought. Maybe next time we visit this area we'll be able to take the plunge.

There's a lot of shops on both sides of the street should anyone want to do some shopping. It's kind of like Gatlinburg if you've ever been there. Of course we had to tour the local Wally World, there's always something that's needed from that place. :) There's also some good eating places and we had to try some of them as well.

Until the next time, On the Road With the Snow's!
