Fort Smith

Earlier this month, Travis had a long overnight in Fort Smith, Arkansas and I got to go with him. Really it's just an excuse to get in a cheap mini vacation together since the flight for me costs merely pennies and the hotel is free.

That spec of a person you can barely see out there is Travis preflighting the plane.
Turns out Fort Smith has a lot of historic sites to see all within walking distance of each other.
Despite the small distances, we still rode this fun bus for a drive by tour of all the site...it was only a dollar! We were the only 2 passengers on the trip. Now if that isn't a little awkward for the tour guide, I don't know what it. The sweet old volunteer lady in the office asked us afterward if the mic was working for the tour guide. Apparently they were having problems with it earlier. We said, well, since it was just the two of us that's ok, it really wasn't necessary :)
One last picture, seconds before those dark clouds unleased some of the wettest raindrops I've ever experienced...and I'm from Oregon!

We are jealous of the cheap trips! Next time you should tell Travis' boss to send him to Denver... and see us!

Cute pictures. Were you guys matchy matchy on purpose? And even both with your hands in your pockets. The trolly bus is part of the experience. For a dollar we would have too.
