Unlucky in Travel
I was at dinner with friends recently and, during the course of our mutual catching up, was told that I have the most spectacular stories.

WordCamp Fayetteville 2015

Prairie Grove Battlefield Park
We celebrated Memorial Day by visiting a local battlefield. The last time I was there I think I still was a single-digit age and they have made a driving tour since then.
