How to Get Here
Flying?
Flying into Fayetteville (XNA): American Airlines, Delta, Continental and United fly here. Jim's Express Shuttle Service is a reliable way to get to your hotel. Car Rentals are also available.
Driving directions to downtown Fayetteville: http://mapq.st/le5nTy
Flying into Tulsa is also an option (TUL): This airport offers the same airlines as XNA, as well as Southwest. From Tulsa you have a 2 hour drive into Fayetteville, so I'd only recommend this if you were getting a great deal on the flight. Car Rentals are available.

Keep Fayetteville Funky
Fayetteville is such a fun town with an eclectic mix of people. We hope you enjoy our funky little town.
Our Favorite Places
Fayetteville Farmer's Market on the Square
This is a must for a Saturday morning. You will find a wide variety of locally produced vegetables, fruits, flowers, plants, meats, baked goods, honey, eggs, jams, crafts, and fine art from the 4 county area. Grab a coffee and some tasty baked treats then wander around the market. I recommend one full loop before making a purchase. I usually buy myself a bouquet of flowers from my favorite booth, Dripping Springs Gardens.
Wilson Park
Jog or walk with the locals on the .9 mile loop around beautiful gardens, touch football games, and yoga classes. This is a great place for a workout, a picnic, or just relaxing by yourself with a book.
Botanical Garden of the Ozarks
4703 N. Crossover Rd.
479.750.2620
Stroll the Campus
Daniel and I both graduated from the University of Arkansas. The campus is beautiful, and we highly recommend you take a walk through it. Here are some of the spots we recommend visiting:
U of A Senior Walk- You will find both of our names in the Class of 2006
Nationally recognized as unique, the sidewalks of the university bear the engraved names of all of its more than 100,000 graduates. The walk begins in front of Old Main with the Class of 1876.
Old Main (Picture to the left)
Completed in 1875, this twin-towered brick building is a stately landmark. It housed the first classes taught at the university. Today it contains the beautifully restored Giffels Auditorium and historic displays, as well as the administrative offices of the Fulbright college of Arts and Sciences. Steps to the lawn on corner of Dickson St. and Arkansas Ave.

Lake Fayetteville
The 5.5 nature trail around the lake is a tough workout, but a beautiful view the whole time.
Mt. Sequoyah
With an elevation of 1,700 feet above sea level, Mt. Sequoyah is the highest point in Fayetteville. It was named for the Cherokee leader who created the Cherokee alphabet and translated the New Testament of the Bible for the Indians. A cross on the west side of the mountain marks a premier view of the city. Looking west from this point, viewers will also see two hills with an obvious gap between them. This is the Trail of Tears route the Indians traveled through Fayetteville on their way to reservations in the West.
Address: 150 NW Skyline Drive Phone: 479.443.4531
See the History...and tell me what I should visit because sadly I've done none of these things.
Arkansas Air Museum
Relive the barnstorming days of early aviation with the Museum's collection of aircraft from the 1920s through the 1940s. See a World War I fighter plane, next to the sleek "Mystery Ship", winner of the 1929 National Air Race and star of two movies. Choose a self-guided tour or arrange for your group to have a guide explain all the exhibits.
Address: 4290 S. School, next to Drake Field Phone: 479.521.4947
Clinton House Museum
This 1930s English-style bungalow was the first home and wedding site of Bill and Hillary Clinton. Showcasing the life and times of the Clintons during their years in Fayetteville, the museum features photographic and memorabilia displays, including vintage campaign materials, and gift shop. Available for public tours, small meetings, receptions and weddings. Address: 930 W. Clinton Drive (formerly California Blvd). Phone: 479.444.0066
Confederate Cemetery
A reflective resting place for some 500 Confederate soldiers from Texas, Missouri, Louisiana and Arkansas. It was established in 1872 by a group of Fayetteville women who founded the Southern Memorial Association and purchased the 3-acre tract. The cemetery is on the Register of Historic Places and welcomes visitors from dawn until dusk.
Address: 500 E. Rock
Ridge House
Fayetteville's oldest standing home. The original, and still visible, one-story "dogtrot" core of this residence was built of native logs by Dr. H.M. Clark in 1836. This house sheltered the wife and children of Cherokee intellectual leader John Ridge after he was assassinated in 1839 for signing a treaty removing the Cherokee to the Southwest.
Address: 230 W. Center St.

Debate of the Night: Channel One vs. Square One
Tonight D and I had a debate. It all started when he accidentally changed the channel to 1, and said "who watches channel 1?" to which I responded, "Schools do." Remember Channel 1? He said it wasn't Channel 1, it was Square One. We turned to all-knowing Google for the answer.
You will also remember this great song. Square One Theme Song
Turns out we were both right. I truly did not remember Square One until D pulled up this gem. Remember Mathnet? "The names are made up but the problems are real."
You will also remember this great song. Square One Theme Song
After watching these, D drew a picture of an AV cart being wheeled in to the classroom so we could get the full effect. Lots of laughs!

D's House is Bugged!
Last night, D and I were having a flashback moment, and watched a bit of Honey I Shrunk the Kids. We were laughing at the super 80's names and thinking how entertaining it would be to see what names were the most popular in movies through the past decades. 
Click on "Graph a Name: Name Voyager:", and type your name in the field to see when your name was most popular and what it ranked in name popularity at the time your parents chose it for you. Mine was most popular in the 80's and was ranked 714.

A note to all pocket call offenders
Pocket calling and hip hop music lead to mayhem...

Buttdial-leads-to-swat-team-response
This sounds like something that would happen to my mom and sisters....I'm reminded of the tanning bed incident.
