Warm temps in Hot Springs

Not wearing a coat in Jan. was wonderful...being with my family was even better. What a perk that everyone had a southern accent, just like me...bless my heart! These shots were taken in Hot Springs, AR where Nana lives. Yep, hubby is in shorts.
This is Bath House Row in down town. Hmm, what's little cousin doing? My guess...being a 6 yr old little boy!
A tired Nana standing by a hot spring, see the steam, with the Arlington Hotel in the background.
We stopped at a cozy coffee house. It was so warm that everyone got ice cream and shakes! Here the oldest cousin is teaching the little guys how to play chess...Hey Sissy, go stand behind the boys and look natural...smile!

Oh, my goodness...that's where I grew up...remember??? I miss Hot Springs so much and I still have some very close friends who live there! A bunch of my friends and I went to the Arlington Hotel after prom and had such fun! I have walked down Bath House Row on numerous occasions! Isn't it a great place to visit? Aww...bless your heart! :)

Great pictures! I clicked on everyone to see them up close. I am not sure about shorts weather in January but it is all we are being served in my town too.

I love Hot Springs! You need to come back in the summer or warm months to visit Magic Springs. It is nothing like it was when I was a kid...very nice now. One of my best friends lives there and we go camping there several times a year.

Bath House Row is one of my favorite areas and love walking up and down the street, visiting all the little shops.

Glad you were able to come back for a visit.

((hugs))

Some warm weather in the middle of the winter is always a lovely bonus...looks like you enjoyed your time there.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment! I love your blog! You have great pictures. I haven't been to Hot Springs in so long. Dh and I are way overdue for a trip there. We spent our first anniversary there. It was November, and it was absolutely beautiful there that time of year.

I loved the pictures from Hot Springs. Looks like you had a great time with your family. The coffee house sounds great but as you know I would have had tea!
