On Sunday morning we explored Table Rock Lake for a little bit and then continued south along US-65 into Arkansas. I already had Arkansas on my states visited list, but Kim did not so we decided to make the trip. Our route took us through Eureka Springs, a little town nestled in the Ozark Mountains. We took a detour around the winding streets of the town and even visited the Christ Of The Ozarks statue.

From there we continued west on US-62 to Bentonville where we had lunch. I decided that we should eat at Zaxby’s after reading some online reviews. It was definitely a good stop as this restaurant easily rivals Chick-fil-A in the fast food chicken department. Zaxby’s takes a little longer to prepare the food, but the wait was well worth it.

Once lunch was over we continued the drive north on US-71 back to Kansas City. For the first time in awhile, the upcoming move was the last thing on our minds.

    DEAR GOD I LOVE ZAXBY’S. We have them all over GA, it’s the first thing I do when I go home every year.

    [...] I finally sorted through our pictures from the Branson / Eureka Springs trip we took a couple of weekends ago and added the good ones to my site. When I first posted about our trip I forgot to mention our pit stop at the Fantastic Caverns on the way down. The fact that I forgot about it does not mean that these caves aren’t worth seeing. I though it was well worth the price we paid to take a ride through. [...]
