We spent a week in Hot Springs last summer to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. He was raised there… lifeguard at The Majestic, ski bum on Lake Catherine… we had a great time on the rented boat, eating at McClard’s, and getting the tour of the city with him at the wheel. Lovely photos!
Thanks so much, Laurie! My husband and I walked all over last weekend, and had a wonderful time staging these pics. It was in the 80’s and we’re in our 60’s, but the walks are sloped so gently, and the breezes are cooled so efficiently through the trees, that we actually felt comfortable the whole way. I loved every part of it, much more than we can show, here! 🙂
Thanks again, for the compliments. 🙂 Glad you had a good time with your dad. 🙂
