We had a GREAT time in Eureka Springs, Arkansas over Memorial weekend! The company of Ben and SallyAnn, (and our pups), beautiful scenery, great shopping, a nice RV park, and a travel trailer with all the comforts of home! Ben, thanks so much for doing 90% of the driving, you’re a super navigator!
If you’ve never been to Eureka Springs, it’s totally worth a visit. It’s an eccentric little town tucked in the Ozark mountains. It was selected as one of America's Distinctive Destinations. Some describe it as an extraordinary place, where there is much to see and do. (Check out our slideshow to see some of things we did.)
There is a trolly system that stops at most every place of lodging and it’s a good idea to take it wherever you want to go. The streets in Eureka Springs are very narrow and parking is at a premium. Plus, it’s a fun ride through a scenic town. There are shops galore and I think we may have stopped in every one of them, going up one side of the street and back down the other.
This was SallyAnn’s first visit. We told her she would love it, and we were right... she was silly excited over all the little shops, especially the ones with clothes! Sally, that was a darn cute dress that you bought at a bargain price!
One of the shops that we strolled into sold hats of all kinds. Joe started trying some of them on, and when he came to a beige Fedora, we all told him he should get it. It looked great on him and it beat the heck out of ball caps! We weren’t convincing enough, and he put it back on the shelf. SallyAnn really thought her father-in-law should have that great looking Fedora, so the morning before we were to leave Eureka Springs, she and Ben made a quick run back to the store. Sally purchased the hat, and she and Ben gave it to Joe for his Father’s Day. He was pretty darn impressed! He’ll certainly be wearing his new Fedora when we go back to Houston!
This was another family trip filled with great memories that will last a life time. Enjoy our photos!
Love, Vicki & Joe
Joe, you are looking good man! The fedora is just what you needed, I like it. You got some good news with the markers. Hope it goes just as well down in Houston. Keep up the faith.
