Happy 16th!

We are celebrating our first anniversary as Arkansans this year!  Sweet 16!  Robbie suprised me with a fun overnight stay at the DoubleTree Hotel in the River Market.  We had a great time!

The kids had there first official sleepover at Nonie and Poppas.  They were really excited to pack their bags and stay at Nonie and Poppa's house by theirselves!

We ate dinner at Boscos and walked around the River Market area. We could see Bill Clinton's Presidential Library in the distance and Robbie suggested we walk down to it.  It was one of those things where something looks much closer than it actually is.  And it was an August afternoon...hot!  About halfway there, we were thinking this wasn't the best plan he ever had...but we were committed at that point...to much invested to back out!  We finally made it and were so looking forward to getting into the A/C...when we discovered we arrived 10 minutes before the libary closed!  REALLY!?! The security guard talked us in to coming in just to look at the Oval Office.  However, we managed to speed walk through most of the museum.  We saw some really cool things!

This photo doesn't do Hilary's china justice!  This table was glowing with gold aura and was breathtaking!



A dress Hilary wore to a White House gala.  I'm thinking she must like gold?!



Bill Clinton's baby bracelet!  I can't believe that the hospitals actually beaded these little bracelets!  It was  so tiny and sweet!  (Clinton was the last name of his stepfather)



One of Little Bill's drawings.  Pretty violent, huh?

Little Billy's Report Card

And his High School Diploma



This replica of the Oval Office was really amazing.  It was the entire room.  It had windows you could look into it through. 

This was one of Bill Clinton's presidential limos!

We made a quick trip into the gift shop and they had "I Miss Bill" hats, t-shirts, etc.  They cracked me up!  I almost decided to get everyone an "I Miss Bill" item for Christmas.  Not that I was a big Bill fan...I just think it's funny!
