It was time to leave the AirBnB we were staying at, but we weren’t sure where we should go next. So, we found a place just an hour or so away, just south of the Arkansas border; a little town called Eureka Springs.
On the way in, we passed a steakhouse that caught our interest. As soon as we found our new place and dropped off the dogs, we headed back out. I’m glad that we did, as it was a fantastic meal. (See Gaskin’s Cabin Steakhouse for more.) It was a bit tough to find in on the dark roads, but it was worth the search.
The next morning, we drove into town. Eureka Springs is a beautiful little town, with lots of shops and places to eat and walk. It is not terribly child-friendly, though. We didn’t see many other families with so many little ones (and a stroller) in tow. The sidewalks are narrow and there are random steps up or down. All the action is along a single street, and there are trolleys that can help you get around, so we were able to overcome those obstacles without too much trouble.
We ate a late breakfast at the Mud Street Annex, located on the main drag. Loved the ambiance and the food. It was situated directly over a creek, with a window in the floor looking down into it. You could tell the tourists versus the locals by who stooped down to look through that window. (Of course, I had to take a look, and a picture!)
