Starting after breakfast around 9:00 AM EDT, we drove our longest single day leg, 588 miles to Little Rock AR. Along the way we made three stops. First we went to the Lodge Cast Iron Outlet store and bought some Cast Iron cookware, Second we drove by the State House in Nashville, TN, and Third we stopped at the Memphis Zoo.
The Memphis Zoo was kind enough to let us in after the admissions we closed (but before the Zoo was closed) so that we could shop for souvenirs, (Who doesn't want a stuffed Panda Bear) but which of you know why the Zoo has hieroglyphs all over the entrance way? Here's the answer :
Little Rock AR - Little Rock AR is not exactly the same as North Little Rock AR (where our hotel was actually at) Also Julie gives this hotel (Hampton Inn in North Little Rock) the best rating of all we stayed at because they had real boxes of Kleenex.
