Our son-in-law Scott had told us about a church to go to in the Memphis area....Fellowship Memphis. He had heard their pastor speak at their Chandler church. The senior pastor was out of town the Sunday we went, however the teaching pastor gave a powerful sermon. Thanks Scott for the suggestion!

5/26/09 - 5/28/09 - Little Rock, AR

We had a short 30 mile drive to Little Rock. We stayed at Riverside RV Park right on the shores of the Arkansas River. Barb, Cody and Addie are looking across the river to downtown Little Rock. Following are some pictures from our campsite.

Barges on the river, Clinton Presidential Library and downtown Little Rock at night.

As soon as we got to Little Rock we called some dear friends that we originally met at our church in Salt Lake City in the 70's. They had moved to Mesa to retire and then about 4 years ago they moved to Little Rock to be closer to their son and his family. They live in a lovely retirement community in west Little Rock that has anything you could ever want. Maynard and JoAnn had just returned from a family reunion where they had celebrated turning 80 and celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary with their kids and their families. The second picture is of their son, Roger, Terri and their daughter Lauren. This is the first time we had seen them all since their oldest daughter Danaea was killed in a car accident coming home for Easter in April 2007. They treated us to a really nice dinner.

The William J. Clinton Presidential Center includes America's newest and most extensive Presidential Library housing the largest archival collection in American presidential history. The 2nd picture is the main gallery showing the Timeline of the Clinton administration. A full-scale reconstruction of the Oval Office shows the room and its furnishings as they appeared during the Clinton administration.

Little Rock Central High School

It was a very humbling experience to go through the Visitor Center and stand across the street from where the school desegregation crisis occurred in the infancy of TV and was among the first news stories filmed as events unfolded and covered daily. In 1957, nine African American students were denied entrance to the all-white Little Rock Central High School, and following the failure of talks with Gov. Orval Faubus, President Eisenhower called out the US Army to escort the students into the school. Little Rock later came to be known as the city where the federal government took a stand on ending segregation. Central High is still an operating high school attended by more than 2,000 students. You can visit the grounds in front of the school.

The Arkansas State Capitol resembles a scaled-down version of the U.S. Capitol.

The flowers at the Old Mill were beautiful!

One of North Little Rock's most popular attractions is the Old Mill which is a re-creation of a water-powered gristmill. You'll recognize it as the spot featured in the opening credits of "Gone With the Wind"...this was a beautiful scenic setting.

I'm catching a few zzzzz's while Pat toured the U.S.S. Razorback submarine....this being a tourist is tiring work! The 2nd picture is a pedestrian bridge across the Arkansas River connecting North Little Rock and Little Rock.

There were some beautiful homes in the Historic District of Little Rock.
