Bill Clinton, a wedding and the Ozarks

Two weeks ago, my mom, Steve and I took a few days off work and drove to Little Rock, AR for the wedding of a family friend. We were all looking forward to the trip, even with the almost 14-hour drive, mostly because Arkansas has this:

A few other highlights, in chronological order:

Steve and I went to the MacArthur Museum of Military History, which I'm in no particular hurry to go back to. I'm almost positive we were the only two people in the museum that morning. It was cool to see a few of the things on exhibit, like this WWII jeep.

We visited the Bill Clinton Library on the recommendation of a few people and it was a lot cooler than I expected it to be. There was a replica of both the Cabinet Room and the Oval Office. The museum was also featuring a small St. Louis Cardinals exhibit, and a few things on loan from the Lincoln Library.

That evening, we went to Abby and Trent's wedding. I am a dork for taking absolutely no pictures of or with Abby and Trent. Abby's mom, Trish Monnahan, is one of my mom's best friends from high school. Her husband, Scott, married Steve and I last summer and Abby did my hair and makeup for my wedding. The Monnahans have been "family" to me for as long as I can remember.

On our last day, we drove to Hot Springs to Garvan Woodland Gardens, which is sort of like the setting to a fairy tale. It's in the Ozark mountains and is home to a beautiful glass chapel, which I would seriously consider getting married in if our wedding hadn't already happened. 

Until the next adventure!
