My most memorable vacation was in Hot Springs, Arkansas. My family stayed there in a motel, for 3 days and 2 nights. Even though, our vacation did not end so well, I still enjoyed the sights I encounter. I recommend all bordering states to visit this place, because of the few sights that stuck out to me: the shopping area, and the mountains, Magic Springs.
Since this was our first time traveling there, we got lost a lot. After driving back and forth from our hotel and our next destination, we started to know our way around. While touring the city one day, we drove past this shopping area. The stores were small, compacted, old fashion looked, yet elegant. They reminded me of the French quarters. I really wished that we would have stopped to see what was inside them.
One our way to Magic Springs, we to travel on this huge hill, well at least that is what I assumed it was in the beginning. Turns out it was a mountain. I was amazed by it, because it was my first time seeing a mountain in real life. I knew people lived in mountains, but I was amazed to see a road way leading to a neighborhood. To sum it all up, the scenery was beautiful.
One of the most common reasons for people vacationing in Hot Springs, Arkansas is to visit Magic Springs and Crystal falls. People usually call it by its shorten the name. Magic Springs is a combination of an amusement park and a water park. For those who love Six Flags will surely love this park. Most of the rides are quite similar, if not the same. I did not get the rides there, but I did lounge in the Crystal Falls wading pool with my mom and little brother. This pool was mainly used by families with small children, because of its shallowness. The second pool was The Crystal Falls Wave Pool. The name describes it exactly; it produces waves. A horn is blown, to signal the waves are coming. I do not suggest small children and those who cannot well to go the deeper ends of the pool. I could not keep my balance of the strong waves. Although we didnot tour the entire park, but it was still cool and fun to be there.
I really enjoyed the shopping area, the mountains and the Magic Springs, In Hot Springs, Arkansas. I regret not taking pictures. The sights I encountered are the only reasons other should. Others can also enjoy the sights I mentioned and plus more. This is really is great place for vacations.
