Friday Afternoon in Little Rock

Checked into hotel in downtown Little Rock, then  set off to find the Flying Saucer, a little joint recommended by a friend because "Robin would make a great waitress here." We had to check it out! Great beer list and the waitresses wore short plaid kilts with knee-high boots. Yep, I would blend right in. Had a most delicious Diamond Bear Pale Ale, a Little Rock local brewer actually. This would eventually become our joint during this trip. 


Next we headed out for me to see the Clinton Presidential Library. It's funny how each generation identifies with a particular president. For me, it was Bill Clinton. This afternoon, my husband "humored" me in taking a tour of the William Clinton Presidential Library. Greg and I both couldn't believe how much we enjoyed this. Regardless of political affiliation, it was so interesting reviewing historical events occurring between 1993-2000. We even laughed seeing Paul Begala and George Stephanopoulos on large flip cell phones with Cellular One stamped on the phone. Wow, a lot has changed technologically. We even joked that we still had the "bag" phones in 1993, so a flip phone was cutting edge. 

Dinner at Bosco's where Greg commented that this was our cheapest date - 3 beers, pizza and 2 salads with tax for $27! Loving the affordability of Little Rock!

Another thing we loved about Little Rock so far was the friendliness of this southern town. I would come back here in a heartbeat!
