I was missed

So this weekend was a Girls Trip (minus 2 of the girls) down to Arkansas for the big War Eagle Craft Fair. Michelle and I hit the road on Friday morning. Funny running into our doctor at a gas station on the way down there. We arrived in Rogers, Ar about 5pm and were able to stay at Alissa's house, a friend of Michelle's. The house was amazing, almost like a castle from a story book. We enjoyed dinner out at Table Mesa with some great food and yummy Pomegranate Sangria. Saturday we got up and were ready to shop. The weather was cold and windy, so we opted for all the indoor craft fairs, instead of braving the outside War Eagle show. We found some great unique finds for birthday and Christmas gifts. After lunch we drove over to Eureka Springs. It's a quaint little town on the side of the mountain filled with eclectic shops of all sorts. We strolled through the streets and shopped through the items. We had dinner reservations there at a place called Local Flavor. A small place filled with a lot of atmosphere. We met Chuck, the brother a mutual friend of Michelle & Alissa's there. It was delicious. We laughed and had a great conversation. Michelle was disappointed as they had run out of Creme Brulee. Sunday we headed back to Kansas. We stopped in Joplin to have lunch with an old friend, Danny, who I hadn't seen in 20 years! Then made our way into KC to hit Nordstroms at the mall. We arrived home about 7pm. It was a great weekend. Always nice to get away from things and have a little quiet time with out the kiddos. Girl time is always fun because you never know where the conversation is going to lead and you know your sides will hurt from laughing so much when it's done.

I arrived home to a nicely decorated Welcome Home sign. Thanks girls!
