Fly Away Home...

Day 326:

Another spectacular day in Arkansas today, Conor.  And by spectacular I mean the weather couldn't have been any better!  Sunny skies, temperatures in the 60's, and a nice and cool breeze...  I took a ton of pictures with my 'good' camera (vs. my camera on my phone) but it's buried in a bag all the way upstairs and I'm far to tired to grab it, load pictures, etc.  With that in mind, I'll throw up a few of those pictures tomorrow...  But I digress.

Yes Boy'O, the weather was great and so considering we would be flying out today, as well as the airport being 10 minutes outside the city of Little Rock, we decided to venture into the city and do a little site seeing...

We saw some great things too, Son.  For example, the Presidential Library of Arkansas, also known as the William Jefferson Clinton Library was right down town.  The historic Little Rock waterfront was a nice thing to see.  The USS Razorback (submarine) commissioned in 1943 was on display.  And then finally, and after a little lunch, we all headed to the Rock Town Distillery; Little Rock's very own bourbon, whiskey, gin, rum, and vodka distillery!

It was a ton of fun to walk through and talk about the distillation process on all their spirits, especially considering they're putting out a top quality product and they're doing it using all locally grown grains and malts.  What a fun stop!  Though unfortunately they don't ship to Virginia so I would settle for a tee-shirt.  Still, it was worth the experience!

Soon after however, it was off to the airport and time to head back to the hustle and bustle of the Washington DC area and so we would say our goodbyes to Pop-Pop and Mimi-Sarah.  Though all in all, it was a fantastic weekend, Son.  Such fun to hang out with my Dad, your Pop-Pop... Three generations of Yerkes men all together.  What a treat.  And we all had a great time... Family, fun, food, and fair weather...  A fine weekend...

I'm exhausted, Boy'O.  Time for bed.  Thanks for being such a good little traveler, Son.   And making me so very proud...

I love you.
