After a relaxing week in the smoky mountains, it was time to head back to Texas. JD planned our trip back and decided to take a different route home with a pit stop in Arkansas. I will admit when JD said we were going to Arkansas I was a tad hesitant, but I did visit Arkansas years ago to visit old neighbors (the Drost family) and it was beautiful. 
Spring Break 2021
We checked into a hotel in downtown Little Rock and walked around the downtown area. We were shocked to find an old farmhouse from the 1850s. Literally downtown! Turns out we found the oldest building in Little Rock, an old farmstead that is part of the Historic Arkansas Museum. The kids (of course) didn't appreciate the find but JD and I loved it! After walking around the historic area, we ordered a pizza to-go from a local pizzeria and headed back to the hotel.
The next morning we headed to Garvan Woodland Gardens in Hot Springs. Garvan is a 210-acre botanical garden that is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I could have spent all day walking around the gorgeous trees and flowers. It was so peaceful! If we lived near the gardens we would go all the time. If you are ever near the Little Rock/Hot Springs area, you have to visit these gardens. You won't regret it! It will be hard to add pics to this post because I took so many, but know that I didn't use any filters on these pictures. The flowers were really this vivid!
Gorgeous tulips!
Coolest tree house ever
