OCTOBER! Really?

I can’t believe it is already October!  I was running this morning with neighbors (yes, me), and realized how wonderfully cool it was.  When the sun eventually came up, I saw how fantastic the Governor’s Mansion District of the Quapaw Quarter looks bathed in sunlight.  The houses are truly splendid.  And it did make the pain of running at 6:30 am a little more bearable.  But, October?

Arkansas really knows how to do October.  There are just so many outdoor activities, and the festivals!  As the temperatures drop down to the fabulous range, Arkansans come out of the air conditioning.

On Saturday, the 6th, there are the Junction Bridge Regatta Sailboat Exhibition Races.  This pedestrian bridge was just dedicated this time last year and we are already making great use of it with wonderful activities like this.  The Grande Maumelle Sailing Club is putting on the Rowing Exhibition Races on the river.  Music, snacks, and beverages provided, just bring your own chair and enjoy the afternoon.

On the 9th, Need to Breathe will be in concert at Robinson Music Hall; and Tales of the Crypt is going on at Mount Holly Cemetery.  Bassnectar is on the 10th at the River Market Amphitheatre.  Then there is Brad Paisley on the 11th at Verizon.

Between the Haunted Cathedral and World Cheese Dip Championship, there are lot’s of family activities just minutes from Robinwood.  Come visit us and join the fun.

What to Expect From a Perfect Little Rock, AR FAll

The brutal heat of the summer has finally broken!  Now that September has arrived, there is much to do in Little Rock, AR.

Now through September 23, the Arkansas Repertory Theatre is presenting Shakespeare’s Henry V.  Plan that with a lovely dinner at Caio or Lulav, paired with a night at Robinwood B&B and you have a perfect weekend.

Not into Shakespeare?  Try an evening at Murry’s Dinner Playhouse featuring “Church Basement Ladies”.  Murry’s comedies are always sure to please.

Looking for something to put shivers down your spine?  Schedule ” A Haunted Evening Tour” with Linda Howell (501)681-3857 for your Friday evening fun. Or save the date of October 9 and tour Mount Holly Cemetery with ghostly guides lighting your way in Tales of the Crypt.

More of a Civil War buff?  The Old State House Museum is featuring “Battle Colors of Arkansas”, varied roles Arkansas played in the American Civil War.

Think the great outdoors is more your style?  Bring your bike or just hike the Arkansas River Trail.    36 miles connecting 23 parks and great river views on both sided of the Arkansas River.

So anyway you slice it, Little Rock is putting its best face forward for wonderful fall temperatures and lots to do.  See you at Robinwood B&B.

Spring has Sprung in Little Rock, AR

I can’t believe that spring is already here.  The is March 2, 2012 and the temperature reached 83 degrees today.  Not our normal temperatures, but absolutely fabulous!   Time has just flown since the leaves turned, Santa dropped by, and the New Year’s Celebrations have been cleaned up.

The Little Rock Marathon is tomorrow!    12,000 participants and 30,000 spectators have made this event one of my favorite spring things.  The ten mile water stop is just two blocks from Robinwood B&B and we will be there cheering the runners on with music and enthusiasm.

You just don’t expect Little Rock to put on a St Patrick’s Day Parade, but here it is on March 17th.  It starts at Dugan’s and runs to Cregeen’s, crossing a river pub to pub.  Be sure to wear your green and join the Irish.

Cruisin’  the Rock is March 23 in the River Market District, just minutes from the B&B.  Classic cars, street rods, trucks, and motorcycles take over the downtown area with fun for all.  I630 is always a parade of interesting vehicles on this weekend.

Spring has sprung in Little Rock and we are ready to make the most of it!  Come join us at Robinwood B&B and let us help you make magical memories.

Spring is in the air at Robinwood B&B
