Off to Bentonville
Chapter 3
Now you might ask, why Bentonville? Better still, where is Bentonville? Again why? Well, if you must know, it was for business. Did not have to be there, could have been accomplished by phone, but my presence was requested; no it was demanded! If you happen to be unaware, Bentonville is the headquarters for “Wal-Mart”. The image to the right is the original store and a fun place to visit.
Back to fun!
Well, I had been there many times before but this time we took the side road and the drive was magnificent. After taking US 40 we hopped on 71 North and the scenery was beautiful. We stopped for a snack at a small restaurant with an old soda fountain which was very nostalgic and a pleasant divergence.
All kidding aside, Bentonville is a beautiful thriving community. They have many great features but to us one really stands out and that is Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art. It is a gift to the community and the world by the Waltons and they should be commended for it.
We have been there a number of times and they do a fantastic job of displaying art of multiple catagorries of genre. Just a great place to visit.
Business is over and time to move on. Topeka here we come! Say where?
