December Arkansas Trip

In early December Cody and I traveled to Arkansas. It was great to see where Cody spent the majority of his life and finally meet some of the Arkansas Orvins. Getting to Arkansas was a mess. We flew stand-by and it was a disaster (what one will do to save money). We left at 8 am to Las Vegas and weren't able to make our connection to Little Rock. After many, many frustrating hours we finally boarded a 8:30 pm flight to Arizona to spend the night with the Arizona Orvins. Luckily, Cody's parents were also visiting and so we had a bit of a party that night before catching a flight the following morning for Arkansas. The following are some pictures which document some of our trip.

Here we are - after about 6 hours in the Las Vegas airport. I got sick at the airport and magically recovered once in Arkansas. Cody and I are convinced I'm allergic to airports.


Here are some homes in Conway. The first is the one we stayed at. Thanks Arkansas Orvins!




And now for the eating. White cheese dip is all I've heard about since I met Cody. It is unique to Arkansas. Cody bought me some and I also had Stoby's cheese dip.



Here are some pictures of Hendrix College and University of Central Arkansas.




Now - here is the last picture I love. Conway, AR consists of SO MANY CHURCHES, many of which are huge. It also has an unusual amount of banks. Banks and churches but no trailer parks like some uneducated California wife expected :)
