Staycations in Little Rock, AR

May 2nd, 2011

Why would anyone consider Little Rock, Arkansas a good location for a Staycation? Are you kidding me?

Little Rock offers so many wonderful options, and because of the size of the city, relatively close together.

Like the outdoors? Climb Pinnacle Mountain in the morning and rent a bike in the afternoon. Walk the River Path and enjoy the beauty of the Arkansas River – from the middle. The Big Damn Bridge offers an incredible view!

Big name concerts play a Verizon Arena all the time, pick a favorite and spend time in the River Market while you’re waiting. Live music abounds at Little Rocks restaurants and clubs. The Ark. Repertory Theater presents wonderful traveling shows. We even have a long standing dinner theater called Murry’s for those who want a taste of local actors!

Love museums? The Arkansas Art Center, Historic Arkansas Museum, William Jefferson Clinton Presidential Museum, (to name just a few!) can easily fill several days.

What is your pleasure? Find it in Little Rock!

Early Spring in Little Rock, AR

April 6th, 2011

Spring has come early to Little Rock. The azaleas and dogwood are blooming. Trees all over the city are leafing out and green is certainly the color of the month. With temperatures reaching into the mid 80′s this weekend, it feels more like May than April. In a beautiful historic neighborhood, we have a front row seat.

Sitting on the front porch, I am grateful for the beautiful homes cloaked in blossoms and color. The warmth for the early spring can change a dreary morning into a dazzling day, full of promises of adventure.

Mount Holly Cemetery a few blocks away, is beautiful with Irises, flowering trees, and carpets of wild flowers. There is no better time to stroll through its peaceful lanes.

Don’t miss this wonderful time of year in Little Rock. It just doesn’t get better than this.

March 31st, 2011

The Arkansas Traveler Baseball is 14 days from opening day! Dickey-Stephens Park is working around the clock to ensure that Opening Day is spectacular. Baseball always brings to mind breezy nights with a hot dog and drink watching the players on the field and the kids in the stands. It has something for everyone.

Minutes from the Ballpark, we provide a return to simpler days in a historic neighborhood. Plan your trip to see the Travelers play and let us make that memory even more special at Robinwood.

Dr. Suess Visits Little Rock, AR

March 18th, 2011

Most of us grew up reading the amazing stories of a rhyming Dr Suess. My favorite was always GREEN EGGS AND HAM.

I could never get enough books to keep me busy. Well, right now Dr. Suess is in Little Rock at the Clinton Library in a very special way. His art and times are on display. Most of us were never aware of the wonderful political satire of Theodor Seuss Geisel. The genius of his art makes it timeless. Stay ten minutes away in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood, and don’t miss the wonderful exhibit, here until May 22, 2011

Feels Like Spring…

January 28th, 2011

With temperatures in the mid 60′s today, and 70′s tomorrow, we are reminded that winter will not last forever. Very soon the flower’s will bloom and the days will be longer. Walking by the Arkansas River will be a wonderful treat.

Robinwood is only 20 blocks from the River, and a short distance to the River Market. Make plans now to watch the azaleas bloom in a beautifully restored neighborhood.
