In the Fall of 2020, Princeton, Zhenya, and I headed out on a Roadtrip from California to Bentonville, Arkansas.
Along the almost 2000 miles of travel, we visited the Carlsbad Caverns, the Museum of the Great Plains, and the world’s largest praying hands!
We also stopped at The Blue Whale of Catoosa in Oklahoma on Route 66!
Enjoying some tasty camp meal at the Museum of the Great Plains.
Carlsbad Caverns were awesome!
Once in Bentonville, we toured the Walmart Museum.
In case you haven’t heard of Bentonville, it is the world headquarters of Walmart, our planet’s largest retailer. Since Bentonville only has about 50,0000 residents, much of the money coming in from Walmart helps bring some of the country’s best schools, infrastructure, parks, and museums. The Greatschools ratings of the Bentonville schools exceed or matches those the kids had in San Diego!
Bentonville is also the “mountain biking capital of the world”, and another reason we chose the area. Since arriving, we have spent many days on the trails.
Zhenya isn’t as interested in the off-road travels like her brother, but we found her a nice bike that does just fine on the many miles of paved paths as well.
We haven’t been here that long, but we’re really liking what we’ve seen so far! The pandemic has put a damper on international travel for 2020, but we are definitely trying to make the best of the current situation.
Bringing the drone proved a good idea, and is a hit with Princeton’s neighborhood friends!
Until next time,
