When talk was first brought up about a party for my Mom’s 70th birthday this past November, my first thought was: we have to get Elvis! And in honor of Elvis’ birthday today, I wanted to share about the festivities. My Mom has been a fan of the King since she was a little girl […]
As mentioned in my last post, I was thrilled to attend last weekend’s grand opening of two temporary exhibits at the William J. Clinton Presidential Center in downtown Little Rock starring SNOOPY! Oh, and Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and all the others too. After checking out those exhibits, it was fun to also visit other […]
Review of New Traveling Exhibit on the Peanuts Gang Yesterday was Opening Day for two new exhibits about Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the whole Peanuts Gang at the Clinton Presidential Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Now that the holidays are over and everything has calmed back down, I took some time this week to reflect on favorite travel memories from the past year.

I wrote last year about attending the inaugural event in Fayetteville, Arkansas, which was fun and incredibly delicious. But this year’s event, which was held up the road in downtown Bentonville, […]
Last Sunday, the Fort Smith Museum of History was a super sweet place to officially say goodbye to summer as it hosted a community-wide ice cream social inside its historic building’s old fashioned Soda Fountain and Pharmacy. Paying just $5.00 gave guests entry to all of the museum’s exhibits plus all-you-can-eat make-your-own sundaes. Yum! I’ve […]
I wrote last year about getting to attend the first annual Bacon Bowl, sponsored by Petit Jean Meats – and about all the wonderful food samples that let me literally pig out. Well, it’s almost that time again. Yay! This year the event will be held in downtown Bentonville, Arkansas (not too far from the […]
