The route out was to just get there - to start kicking
back and relaxing |
 |
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
You can definitely tell when you are in the pretty party
of Arkansas |
| |
|
|
 |
They have had some rain this year... last year we drove
down in this area, where the road is underwater. |
 |
| |
|
|
 |
just before arriving in Hot Springs, there is a neat
little pond off to the left - in an RV Park - called
Mill's Pond. Glenda
snapped these pictures as I drove across the bridge on
the far side of the pond |
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
 |
The Azaleas were everywhere and in full bloom |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Driving into town, the welcome banner was there to welcome you to the
Hot
Springs Corvette Weekend event |
 |
|
| |
|
|
 |
We stayed at the
Arlington Resort Hotel & Spa,
the "Host Hotel" again this year |
 |
| |
|
|
|
| |
...a view from the table we sat at on the front porch of
the Arlington - great view of the main drag, Central |
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
 |
from the check in area, looking up, you see the deck
(pool area) which is located off the 7th floor |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
a view out of our room (6th floor, looking down to
Central) - great view to spot Vettes, like this '74
roadster |
 |
| |
|
|
|
| |
Early-Bird Registration took
place from 4-7pm on the 2nd floor of the Arlington |
 |
|
| |
|
|
|
 |
 |
...I had to wander down to ogle the '74 roadster that
was sitting on the street outside the hotel |
 |
| |
|
|
|
 |
The same band as last year, played each night at the
Arlington - not to mention lots of door
prizes were given away at the Early Bird
Party |
 |
| |
|
|
|
 |
a view of the Arlington Thursday night |
 |
 |
 |
In the median (on Central) in front of the Arlington,
you will find the Mother Nature statue;
dedicated to Hot Springs back in 1993 |
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
We took a walk down Central to find a place to eat dinner;
we ended up at the
Porterhouse for great salads, steaks and wine |
 |
we then walked back to the Arlington via Bath House Row;
only one of the original ones is open for business, the
Buckstaff |
...we did take a tour of the "Fordyce"
bath house on Friday - very interesting |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Sitting up on the 7th floor deck at the hotel later that cool/brisk evening, we watched the
clouds pass by the full moon - one of the Arlington's towers
are visible from back there as well |
