We are back from our vacation in Eureka Springs, and it is now time to get back to business. Vacation was relaxing for me and the kids, but I am not sure it was as relaxing for my husband because he did all of the driving.
We live in Kansas where it is very flat and most roads are straight. Not so in Arkansas! Some of the steepest roads we encountered were right there in downtown Eureka Springs.
Arkansas is a very beautiful and scenic state.
