Day 2We will start our day on the road to Hot Springs, known as the valley of the vapors. We will be given a guided tour of the town. We will see the famous bath house row, gangster Al Capone's favorite hang outs, former President Bill Clinton's old home and high school, plus all there is to see in this city whose history dates back 10,000 years. After lunch we will head to Garvan Woodlands Garden. This unique and beautiful garden is the only one in the United States that occupies all of a peninsula in a major body of water. It is a truly one of a kind botanical garden. Next we will head back to Little Rock for an evening of murder and mayhem. This Murder Mystery Dinner Theater will be inside the Old Arsenal, an authentic pre-civil war era arsenal. This should be an evening of fun. Day 3We will tour The Clinton Presidential Library and Museum. It is 20,000 square feet of exhibits documenting his time as president. It even has a replica of the Oval Office and Cabinet Room. It, unfortunately, is now time for us to leave the Natural State. |

Destination Trips
|
Our first stop on this trip will be to the Toltec Mounds. This is Arkansas tallest remaining prehistoric American Indian Mounds. It features not only the mounds, but exhibits, an audiovisual theatre, and of course time to browse in the gift shop. Next, we will pay a visit to Morris' Antiques. They have been in business since 1967 and have 9 showrooms with 60,000 square feet of antiques dating from 1750's to 1940's. We will tour the Marlsgate Plantation. This Greek Revival Mansion stands majestically amongst ancient trees overlooking the Bearskin Lake. It is famed as one of the most resplendent plantation homes built in the Arkansas Delta. Southern history permeates the mansion as David Garner gives us a guided tour of his home and gardens. We will also be having dinner in this magnificent old mansion.
