2013 Family Vacation -- Eureka Springs: First Night

Little Rock kicked off our vacation, and after such a wonderful visit with Dr. Schaefer, it made the start of our little vacation so much more fun!! We were going to head on to Eureka Springs after the appointment. I couldn't wait to get there! I hadn't been there since my parents took me when I graduated college. But the neatest thing of all was the first time I visited there, I was three. The same age as AB. I couldn't wait for her to see it and have the same experiences as I did.

After the drive from Little Rock, we were anxious to get the fun started! We arrived in Eureka Springs around 6:00 pm and we had to do my most favorite thing to do when I'm there -- drive through down town and spot Christ of the Ozarks through the trees and buildings. So neat to see! This, too, became a fun little adventure for AB. She would watch out her window carefully in hopes to catch a glimpse of the statue. The picture doesn't do it justice, but still, so pretty to see!

After our little drive through downtown, we headed to our hotel to get settled in before dinner. Whew. It's a lot of work unloading four people, two of them kids, and one of them who can't help carry anything at all - ha! But that's ok. What are dads  moms and dad's for? ;0)

We looked for a place that would be open for dinner at 9:00 at night and finally found one. It was in the middle of no where, but we ended up loving it! So, we took the girls and had dinner at 9:00 pm.

Afterwards, we headed back to the hotel to rest up for the next day's adventures!!
