Friday night, Mom, Lindsey, Shelby, & I headed down to Little Rock for a little mini-vacation.  We stayed at the Peabody Hotel (more on that in a second).  The purpose of the trip was to go to an event called Holiday House.  It was basically a craft fair with mostly holiday-related booths.  I got some ideas for decorating my house and also got a few goodies to help out.  Going to the event definitely got me in the Christmas spirit.  On to the hotel…

We stayed at the Little Rock version of the famous Peabody Hotel (originally from Memphis).  We made sure to time our trip on Saturday so we could see the duck march.  (We also made sure to time our trip for a stop in Russellville on the way back to eat at Feltner’s Whatta-burger but I guess that’s another story)  The little honorary duck master was adorable, as were the kids waiting very patiently to see them.

Oh yeah…Arkansas played Troy on Saturday evening in Fayetteville (3 hours away).  Troy’s band stayed at the Peabody Friday evening & then went on to Fayetteville on Saturday.  Evidently, there weren’t any hotels large enough to hold them all available up anywhere closer to Fayetteville.  The duck master wished Troy luck but stopped short of cheering them on.  We were still in Arkansas after all!!!
