Our 10 year wedding anniversary is this June. We originally had planned to take a big trip in June to celebrate, but then we discovered that we were pregnant with number three, so we decided to take a smaller trip earlier, before the baby comes.
We went to Eureka Springs and stayed at the Evening Shade Inn. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast to anyone looking for a romantic getaway. The innkeepers, Clark and Donna Hinson, were terrific. They brought a delicious breakfast right to our cabin every morning and dessert every evening. We were looking for a relaxing weekend, and this was the perfect place for it.
We rode the trolley around town and did some shopping in the historic district. This was especially interesting because of the wintry mix that turned into huge snowflakes as we shopped. We felt a little crazy walking down the street in that kind of weather, but it was fun and certainly memorable.
We toured the Crescent Hotel as well. This hotel was built in 1886 and is believed to be haunted. We took the Ghost Tour there and learned a lot of cool history, but didn’t see any ghosts . . . not that we really expected to see any!
We also checked out the Christ of the Ozarks statue. There was a great view of a snowy Eureka Springs from the mountain, including the Crescent Hotel that we had just toured the night before.
Our time in Eureka Springs was nice. It was exactly what we needed: a very relaxing weekend away from the craziness of life. More pictures are here on Flickr.
