Spring Break






I took last week off and went on vacation with the family. Biajee was the driver all through the week. We went to Little Rock first to visit President Clinton's library, Little Rock Central High School Historical Museum, the State Capitol of Arkansas, the Science and Discovery Museum and the Old Mill.

Each president builds a library in their hometown after they retire and this library will tell the biography of the president and what they had done during their serving period in the White House. Arnold and Arthur had a great time there. We learned a lot more about William Jefferson Clinton. His biological father died 3 months before he was born and he was raised by his mother. He was born in a little town called Hope in Arkansas and then later moved to Hot Springs after his mom got remarried.

There was an exhibition about Queen Elizabeth and they got her age wrong. Biajee was very upset about it. The exhibition said Queen Elizabeth was over 100 years old while she was born in 1926 as a matter of fact.

There was a Chinese restaurant called Chi's in Little Rock. We had Dim Sum there one day and it was very expensive. We spent $75 on the Dim Sum, which normally would have been half the price if we were to dine in Denver or any other city in the United States.


The Little Rock Central High School is the largest high school in the United States and looks absolutely gorgeous from the outside. We didn't get to go in because we went to visit at 9 am on Sunday morning.

We toured every floor of the building. In my personal opinion, it has a lot more to offer to tourist than the State Capitol of Texas in Austin. We learned about the meaning of the state flag. Arkansas was the 25th state that was claimed to be a state of the United States, which was reflected in the 25 stars circling the diamond. Diamond digging used to be a huge business here, which is why there is a huge white diamond on the flag. There were a lot of fun facts about Arkansas and the building was fabulous.
