After a few days of rest from the first two stops of our vacation followed by a trip to Little Rock, we made our way to Eureka Springs were we had a cabin reservation at the Silver Ridge Resort. We spent the first day relaxing and enjoying the quite.. and the jacuzzi.
The next day we went into town, went through Onyx Cave, grabbed a bite to eat and then hopped a tram for a guided tour through the city. We then purchased all-day passes on the Trolley and rode downtown, did some shopping and eating, then rode out to the giant Jesus statue. We made it back to the Crescent hotel at 5:30 pm, just in time for a mostly relaxing but sometimes painful one hour message at the New Moon Spa. We took hundreds of pictures of the historic downtown section and everything else we came across. I will spare you the vast majority of those and just post a few.
After slightly recovering from our long bike ride in Tulsa, we packed up and took Route 66 to Oklahoma City where we eventually found the Oklahoma City Zoo.
Woohooo, vacation time! We spent the first two days in Tulsa riding about 15 miles of bike trails. Tomorrow we will be heading to Oklahoma City to see what we can find there.
A while back we went on a road trip to Arizona along what’s left of Route 66 and it was the best vacation ever, even when you factor in all of the snow and getting trapped in New Mexico in record snowfall at a hotel where the heater didn’t really work which under normal circumstances would suck huge, but in the bigger picture it was perfectly fine. At least looking back it was fine. It’s possible that, at the time, we were cursing our fate but today I only remember the fun stuff.
So in few weeks we will likely be heading to Yellowstone National Park to have a look around and see what all of the fuss is about. Or we will go somewhere else. The whole point is to just do what we feel like doing at the moment because that is the beauty of the road trip.
OK, I gotta go. The game is on and I am in the running to win the game-picking-pool-thing, whatever you call those, and this is the first time that has happened in several years because for the most part, I suck at picking who is going to win a game. I mean seriously, it shouldn’t be that hard. You have a 50-50 chance without even know anything at all about the sport. And yet I still can’t pick half of them right. Until today!!!
