Oct.2014 Arkansas Part 1

We left Texas and headed to Arkansas to visit friends Ken and Vickie King. They're Escapees and we met them in Benson Az. some years ago.

Vickie has a brother with a lot of property near Bella Vista so we were able to stay there during our stay. That was very generous of them and we really appreciated it. One day we went to Bentonville to tour Walmart's Sam Walton Museum. It was interesting and how it grew over the years.

After visiting the Walton museum we went to Crystal Bridges Museum of America Art .This museum was founded by Alice Walton and opened in 2011.This is a enormous place with all kinds of art and sculpture along with walking trails. They have great lunches there as well.
