Overlook in Hot Springs Village
Well, here are a couple of pictures from a trip taken to Hot Springs Village, Arkansas last week by me and mom. We went to visit friends Lynda, Alex and their son Alan. They moved from this area a couple of years ago to Hot Springs Village. Mom and I took Amtrak to Little Rock, AR last Wednesday night and returned Sunday morning. We went to the Garvin Woodland Gardens, of course to see the daffodils blooming! We went to the lookout in the village and the National Park, to see the hot spring itself and Bath Row (massage and baths-they are wonderful!, but could not talk mom into going), shopping in the souvenir shops, to eat on Hamilton Lake at Fisherman's Wharf (broccoli salad that was wonderful!), crystal hunting in the Coleman Crystal mine (yes we found several!), sight seeing, and hunting for bambies! All in all a wonderful 3 days! Enjoy the pics, we enjoyed the trip!
