The temperatures are warming up and Memorial Day is right around the corner. Did you know there is a beautiful place not far from Texarkana where you and your family can stay and play and not have to worry about driving all over the place for some fun in the sun?

I just got back from vacationing in Galveston and the beach and water were great but what I'm hearing that might change over the next few months. There is a huge...we are talking massive blob of seaweed set to come into the Gulf of Mexico.

Spring is in the air and if you want to get out and enjoy the beautiful green trees and blooming wildflowers then get ready to hop onboard the Arkansas-Missouri Railroad for a stunning scenic train ride in Arkansas. They have new train ride schedules throughout the month of April.

As temperatures start to warm up for spring the flowers are starting to bloom. If you love flowers then there is an amazing place in Arkansas where you can see nature in its most colorful state as seas of tulips are in full bloom.

If you are looking for something a little different to do with the family especially if you have young children this is a great getaway. You can stay in a barn loft with beautiful tree-top views and visit with the animals just down the road near Hot Springs, Arkansas.

Cooler temperatures are coming and that makes for excellent road trip weather. It's fun to check out new places or revisit old favorites for a weekend road trip. Texas is full of fun places to explore but if you're looking for a fun laid-back road trip you definitely need to visit one of these beautiful small Texas towns.

Travelers can once again stop at Arkansas Welcome Centers, according to the Arkansas Department of Transportation.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has updated an order that will not allow anyone to travel from Louisiana to Texas by vehicle.

Halloween is almost here! Have you ever been driving in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere and felt like you were not alone. Maybe you were not! Could it be you picked up a ghostly stranger or even thought you saw something on the road you couldn't explain. Well, that leads me to some of Arkansas highways you don't want to be caught traveling down after dark.

Last week my husband John and I went on a fast and furious trip to Missouri. We had a mini-reunion with some of his family. So, Not only did I learn a more about his family history, but also about American Pioneer history as well. The first leg of our trip started in Liberty, Missouri, just outside of Kansas City as this is where my husband's adoptive father was born and raised.

This might be a good list to keep handy as we move through the year.

Ever traveled to a city and had no idea what to do once you got there? This will change that.
