This Thanksgiving was very different than the ones in the past. Our family had to got to travel.
We went to see Chris's parents who live in Malvern. So on Wednesday, we left and went through Hot Springs. There we stopped and visited "Bathhouse Row." We toured the Fordyce Bathhouse/visitors center, and also saw many of the different hot springs fountains. I think we heard that the temperature of the springs stays a constant 127 degrees year round. While we were there we also looked around in the shops along the main street and just enjoyed being in a new place, together.
Once we left downtown Hot Springs, we went to the UofA botanical gardens called Garvan Woodland Gardens. They were doing their Christmas light display, so we decided to go see. I am glad we did. The kids loved the lights and it put us all in a Christmas spirit.
Thursday came and we had an interesting meal. Chris's parents oven went out, so we ended up cooking everything including the turkey and dressing on the bbq grill. The turkey turned out good and we all ate way to much in spite of the challenge of preparation.
That night after we put the kids to bed, Nana and Papa kept them, Chris and I went BLACK FRIDAY shopping. We ended up getting everything we went after plus some. Not to mention he and I always have a ton of fun. We actually enjoy shopping in the madness!
When Friday came and it was time for us to leave, we decided to go home by way of Little Rock. There we stopped at the River Market District and played around for a while, but we also visited the Old State House Museum. It was fun to learn a little bit of history. Before heading home we made one last stop at the Old Mill to take a few pictures. We had a good time, but we were glad to be home.
Here are a few pictures of our trips highlights.
