We started out with a leisurely breakfast at Angler's at about 9 a.m. Good biscuits.
After that, we went for a tour-guided boat ride on Beaver Lake on the "Belle of the Ozarks," a pontoon boat. The morning could not have been more perfect - sunny, but not hot.
After the boat ride, we drove into Eureka Springs, intending to tour the historic downtown district. There was some kind of bicycle race in progress. The historic district was positively choked with traffic, which is probably normal for that area, and made worse by the racers. We got out of there as soon as we could and started looking for some place to eat lunch. Today's choice: The Rockin' Pig. Awesome. Seriously.
As we were finishing our meal, I asked Joel what he wanted to do next. He said he wanted to see the Daisy Air Rifle Museum in Rogers, Arkansas, about 30 miles away. We struck a trail. It was a tiny museum, but Joel loved it. We bought BB guns for all the grandkids who don't already have one.
After the museum, we started back to Eureka Springs, then Joel remembered he wanted to go to the Camping World store in Lowell, Arkansas, about 30 minutes from Rogers. We did a U-turn and headed to Lowell. Joel is wanting a new camper, and this store sells the brand he's been shopping. We spent about an hour going in and out of campers, but never found one that seemed exactly what we were looking for.
We took a different route back to Eureka Springs. By the end of the day, we must have traveled every highway in two counties! On the way back, we picked up a pizza for dinner.
Not sure what's on the agenda for tomorrow. We still have not seriously toured the historic downtown area. We think that it might be less crowded Monday, when the weekenders go home.
But, for now, it's a beautiful night, and I might just see if I can figure out what all the fuss over jacuzzis is about. ;)
