Finally, here’s a final post from my archives back when I visited the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock shortly before I moved to Georgia.

Clinton Presidential Library, Little Rock, Arkansas

Last Friday, I headed over to Little Rock one last time to visit the Clinton Presidential Library. The main reason for visiting it was that I’m as close to it as I’m ever going to get, and I might as well have paid it a visit.
Overall, the Clinton Library was interesting to visit. It felt more like a Bill Clinton museum than an actual library. I enjoyed it though. I didn’t read through each artifact there since that would have taken me too long, but I did look over the displays, and it was interesting and quite historical. There were plenty of them to see as well.
What was most interesting were the Oval Office and Cabinet Office. I almost wish I could use the Cabinet Office for my conference room! 🙂 The Oval Office was the most spectacular of the displays, although it was quite disappointing that we didn’t get to actually go in it. I know those that knew I was heading over wanted me to get a picture of me in the Oval Office. Oh well, too bad I wasn’t able to. There were also displays of one of the Clinton’s dinner tables they went to, as well as a special display going on with treasures pertaining to various President’s terms in office. That was quite a site to see. There were also some interesting architectural designs to the library itself, including the way the outdoor fountains worked.
Bottom line, it was an interesting trip that was historical and educational, and if you ever happen to be in the Little Rock area, you might as well pay a visit.

Finally, here’s an archive weather report from the time I visited the Lake Lanier Trail of Lights in Georgia!

Lake Lanier Trail of Lights

Yesterday I visited the Trail of Lights down on Lake Lanier. Lake Lanier Resort is located on an island on Lake Lanier near Buford about 35-40 minutes from where I live in Demorest. These maps show you where it’s located:
My family and I started off on our journey to pickup our realtor friend Jane Dunham who would be accompanying us on our journey. On the way, we were captivated by the majestic Georgia Mountain Sunset that occurred, which really made the commencement of our journey beautiful. After picking up Jane, we started off on our long journey down to the lake.

Upon arriving, we traveled through a 7 mile trail all adorned with millions of magical Christmas lights! From the “12 Days of Christmas” to a lighted carousel to castles, animals, tunnels, and a beautiful Nativity Scene, we saw it all as we traveled down the lighted trail, over bridges and passing cabins and a lodge and moving with the flow of vehicles until we reached our destination.

Our destination comprised an outdoor fair, a shopping area full of Christmas decorations, and dining areas where visitors could grab a quick bite. A couple of roaring fire pits greeted us as we entered the area. Inside the shopping area, a myriad of visitors were scurrying about, wrapping up their last minute Christmas shopping. After I grabbed a quick bite to eat, I was ready to film my live WeatherBug Report and feature Jane our realtor friend. However, I got a nice surprise I got to add to my live report! A magical Dickens character was nearby and I was able to feature him in the live report with Jane. And while I had a few issues getting my cell phone to load my weather graphics, I was able to pull off a complete forecast inside the store and have a fun time doing it.

Upon leaving the store, I ran into the man himself, Santa Claus! I was able to get a quick WeatherBug video with him and grab a few pictures. We ran into the Dickens character again outside along with a cheery friend of his in which we were able to grab some photos, and once they started singing Christmas carols, I was able to grab a quick video of their singing. We also happened to run into a movie actor while we were there that was featured in a Christmas movie at one time.

After we had our share of Christmas cheer, we headed on home, getting to enjoy one last look at the Christmas lights. We stopped at ZAXBY’s where I grabbed some boneles buffalo wings and my realtor friend got to say hi to her granddaughter who works there. After we rested up, we all headed on home, full of Christmas cheer and enjoyment from the wonderful time we had down at Lake Lanier.

One great thing about Lake Lanier is that the Trail of Lights is not the only time that Lake Lanier has something to offer. Lake Lanier is a full resort open year round complete with a lodge, marina, golf courses, and all the laps of luxury on the lake! I’m hoping to visit again sometime in the Spring or Summer and checkout the lodge and perform another live report showing WeatherBug members all what else Lake Lanier offers year round. In the meantime, check out this link for more information on Lake Lanier Resort.

I had a wonderful time this Christmas on the Lake Lanier Trail of Lights, and I can’t wait to visit the Lake Resort again as soon as I get the chance. It was a magical and wonderful night and really made for one of the best Christmases ever!

And from the Dicken’s characters: God Bless Us Everyone!
