David and I arrived in Little Rock today for a series of meetings. We flew in from Lynchburg in the rain with a connection in Charlotte where it was also raining really bad. It caused a delay in our departure from Charlotte but we finally got off the ground. We arrived in Little Rock about 30 minutes late but that was okay – weather is beautiful!
Once we got checked into the hotel and started to unpack our clothes, they were soaked! It was like the ground crew left our suitcases out on the runway in the rain! So we have clothes hanging up all around the room.
Tonight we went to the Clinton Presidential Library. Honestly, I wasn’t that excited about going there but it is an amazing place. There are some pretty cool displays, including a full scale replica of the White House Oval Office. I wanted so badly to sit in his chair but there was a big security guard who was doing his job very well.
After the Library, we took a trip down the Arkansas River on the Arkansas Queen, a riverboat. Weather was excellent, temperatures perfect and it was a nice evening with some friends. I’m just back in the room now and it’s about 1am CDT (2am at home – I should be in bed).
Later today (Thursday), I’ll be having lunch my mom and dad. I’m really excited to see them.
Just an FYI that I’ll be appearing on Channel 7, ABC’s “Good Morning Arkansas” on Friday, September 15 at 9am. For those of you in the Little Rock area, please watch!
