| | 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 |  |  |
