A couple of years ago when we visited our friends in Bella Vista we saw Crystal Bridges Museum of Art in Bentonville under construction. It was finally finished enough to open on 2011-11-11. So, when Bob and Jean invited us to stop on the way home to see the finished Crystal Bridges we jumped at.

Bella Vista has a cute RV park at the Blowing Springs Park. You must be a member of Bella Vista or a guest of a member in order to use the park. Luckily our friends Bob and Jean are members.

Glenn (Bob's brother), Linda, Gypsy, Harold and Mary Ann also stop at Bella Vista. We came from two different places and arrived with 5 minutes of each other. Glenn, Linda and Gypsy were parked beside us and Harold and Mary Ann were parked behind us at Oleander Acres.

There were two geocaches in the park and Ed couldn't wait to find them. He went straight up the hill instead of following the path. Lucky he isn't allergic to poison ivy.

There is always a cool breeze coming off of the spring.
