Today we decided to mix it up a bit, and take a small detour. “Let’s visit Metropolis, home of Superman,” I suggested. Everyone said “OK, why not?” On day four, we left our cabins at Caddo River Ranch for the final time and headed to Hot Springs, Arkansas to see the historic bath houses and beautiful mountains and forests that surround the historic town. Using the occasion of a family reunion as an excuse, we decided to plan a family vacation with central Arkansas’ diamond and quartz mines as our focus. Our trip would include a stay at some rustic cabins along the Caddo River and a trip to historic Hot Springs, Arkansas. In honor of the 75th anniversary of the Blue Ridge Parkway, Virginia’s small towns and communities along “America’s Favorite Drive,” are celebrating with special events and festivals all summer long. The Blue Ridge Parkway is an iconic travel destination, stretching 469 miles from Shenandoah National Park in Virginia to the Great Smoky Mountains. Reconnect with loved ones and nature in this pristine part of Virginia where music festivals, arts and crafts fairs, and food and wine events showcase the traditions and hospitality of Virginia’s Blue Ridge region. When Confederate General Sterling Price marched 12,000 troops into what became known as the Battle of Westport, he had no idea the ground he was covering would someday be among the most-visited parts of modern day-Kansas City. But those of us 156 years removed from the “Gettysburg of the West” can doubly enjoy retracing the steps of those who fought in the October 1864 skirmish by not only reliving history, but also by experiencing some of Kansas City’s most popular destination neighborhoods along the Battle of Westport driving tour. |
